Default Warmest summer?

So apart from the obvious - stats - what do people do if their rep rooms get too hot? Getting a lil worried as it's looking to be a scorcher this summer and I don't want my babies to fry...

desk or table top fans are good to cool the room, mini fans fitted to vivs also works.

if you use normal fans make sure the window is open and the fan is placed on the window ledge that way you get the cooler fresh air coming in,as for me i need a aircon so gonna buy one anyway,and if that aint enough to keep my cool i am going sleeping in the car all night maybe take the reps for some company

We have the window open already, our rep room is v hot (even though we have stats!!) which is why I'm worried, when we only had the beardies it was fine, but our collection has somewhat increased... we have a couple of fans we'll be using but any other suggestions are welcome!

mine are all boids and for the hotter part of summer,most of the heating will be off,for the very hottest days an oscillating fan and open windows are all you need to keep temps workable

Well I use room chillers (not their real name) I got them from Argos, a lot cheaper then air conditioners but just as effective around 55-60 Euro each.
