fans might help the people, but they will do NOTHING for the animals..

reptiles do not sweat.. so if the air is 90f then the air being moved is also 90f.. we only feel cooler as it evaporates sweat off us, so making us feel cooler..

i personally feel not being in a venue with a glass roof.. will have more of a benefit to the animals who are incarcerated inside all day..

bear in mind that sadly most of the sellers do not provide their animals for sale with any water OR any hides...

just look at the donny show pics.. yet again, tables full of bloody adult or near adult leos in cricket boxes.. and most of the snakes in similar... its no wonder that the antis want to ban shows.. i am beginning to see what they are saying..

will that make me popular.. will it hell.. oh well.. someone has to say it..

but yes, at least one animal died, on the table next to mine in fact.. although i know of at least one other who was very not well, as reported to the table seller.. and lets not forget that there were a few deaths last year as people were taking their animals home from various shows..

the majority of reps will come back just fine from being too COLD for a short time.. the same cannot be said about those who get too warm..

fans *laughs* well that will do sweet FA for the reptiles..

I have an air conditioning unit that cost about £100 and cools my upstairs down to a very comfortable temperature even in the hottest of the summer, runs off cold water. Perhaps in venues where the temperatures increase like that it would be an idea for the show organisers to charge an extra £2 per table even but invest in a few large air conditioning units. Mine is just designed for home use, I'm sure you can get larger ones that would actually cool the air around it and not just move warm air.
