Just thought I share that I got rhino eggs (17) today, she laid when the temp was about 104 degrees with a projected high today of 116.

I thought I would also provide some data on the effect of water on cooling temps. At one of our synthetic soccer fields they took field temps in June when the outdoor temp was 109 degrees & 10% humidity. The field temps ranged from 173 degrees to 192 degrees. Following a brief sprinkler cycle the field temps drop as much as 70 degrees (depending on the sprinkler coverage). With our high temps and low humidity, watering down a cage can drastically cool temps & lizards.
