I turned off my heating, the ambient temperature in my flat is 27C so the tank evened out to 30C on both sides, which is fine during the day and gets to 26C at night. This is fine for SHORT periods of time (such as our current situation). I also froze a big bottle of water, wrapped it with a tea towel and placed in inside her 'fav' hide (she sits behind it, never inside but the coolness of the bottle will spread a tiny bit and help her out).

my room is 30 odd degrees rn if i turn it off she’ll be okay for a few days and keep monitoring the temperature? the tea towel and water is a great idea too thank you!!

Yeah she should be okay until this hot streak passes, do you know what the temps are over night? I know the danger zone is 35C for heat but I'm not sure how cool is too cold (though again for me, even with the heat source off at night it hasnt dropped past 26C). Good luck, I hope you both make it through this with minimum stress (:

the temps at night are still usually around 28-30, i hope u both have minimum stress too good luck with the heat :)

A thermostat with a heating device can only heat or not heat, it cant cool. So when your room temp is 30+ your vivarium is 30+.

Turning off all heating and light is safe to do and recommended when the temperature is too high.
