We have our Boas set up in a fairly large insulated shed maybe 10 x 15 or so. thing is the temps vary by day from 79-90F usually in the mid 80's. We have an AC in there but it is a wall unit and an older model that doesn;t have a digital thermostat to maintain a specific temp if left on all day. I have looked for a new model that has the same dimensions (to fit the hole in the wall) but it's tough to find one it is a fairly small unit.

Is the temp flux an issue? We are waiting on a stack of Boaphiles and a few AP racks and both have belly heat, as for the summertime temps in the room does anybody have any suggestions? maybe keep the flexwatt unplugged in the summer? keep it on? We have Helix Thermostats that will regulate the flexwatt as well. I am just looking to get feedback on the temp in the room and if anybody feels the range i gave is too broad or if getting up to 90 is too much heat and also with the room being that hot in the summer what suggestions do you have on the flexwatt keep it on in the summer (the will be connected to a helix) or keep the flexwatt off in the summer? We are in NJ so we get nice cold winters and nice hot summers.

Any help would be great! Thanks! Bill
