Hi guys, me again!

Juniper's been doing great since last post, infact, so good, she appears to have gone right back into another moult after a few days of adventure.

Currently where I live in the UK, there's a heatwave going on.

For those unaware, the UK's houses are very ill equipped to deal with the weather, with AC a non existent, and the walls being very thick.

Juniper's up in her websack and hasn't moved, and the tank thermometer is saying....34-36 degrees.

Any way I can cool the enclosure down without bothering her? Thanks.

The jumpers around here casually patrol the roofs of our house all day every day. At noon the roofs take about 3 to 5 minutes to fry an egg. 10 minutes for the yolk to get solid.

Phidippus regius are from hot humid places. Mostly the state of Florida. I believe Florida gets to those temperatures, but if you’re worried, a small desk fan should help. Just make sure it doesn’t make all the moisture go away.

Super understandable there but there's also breeze, no? Here it's kinda...well, the house walls are very thick, so not alot of cold air comes in. Am I worrying over nothing?
