its in my upstairs hallway.. it can get pretty hot in the house with no AC.

He seems to be completely fine with temps around 84ish and even to 86ish.
I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

BUT
It sounds like thats not healthy for him so can u guys please show me a way to bring temp lower?

Thanks

should i buy a chiller?
if so, what brand u guys recommend?

I just picked up this fan i got on eBay recently, and it seem to work GREAT!
My temp is now pretty stable between 82-84 degrees. I try to keep it as stable as possible, but with this weather constantly getting hot/cold, its pretty hard.

I'm leaving to Vegas for 4 days tomorrow, will he be ok?
I'm planning drop as much pellets as he can eat before I leave.

Don't do that. Feed him as normal your water will foul before he ever starves to death. Uneaten food dissolving in water and extra poop is worse than him not eating for a couple days.

Thank you so much for all the responses guys, much appreciated!!

I'm currently in Vegas now hoping my FH will be fine by the time I get back.

I feed him more then I usually would but before I left I make sure he ate everything.
