Yes, you did mention about the warmer temps. Cooler is always best with most any salamander. I've rotated either one or two litre frozen water bottles under the enclosure during my summer months. Even my basement gets too warm during this time. I usually place two under the tank at opposite ends mostly for balance when it's too hot. Two more frozen bottles are kept in the freezer, and when the couple mentioned bottles are thawed out and temps are still up too high, I just flip them and replace. Sounds kind of primative, but it works thru experience. Hope this helps you.
