Is the room temp in the mid 80's from floor to ceiling. Check what the temps are at floor level. I would be willing to bet they are at 80 or less. If that is the case, just keep the cage on the floor. Other than that, the only thing I can suggest is try a different room.
good luck

thnx for the reply. i checked the temp in the office downstairs at floor level and it is about 78. so i will just take the cage down stairs during the summer. oh and during the winter it gets cold and i was planning on using one of those red reptile bulbs by zoo-med. would that work or should i use a ceramic heat emmiter instead?

The red bulbs are fine, as are the blue ones. Just be sure that you create a temp. gradient so the gecko can more to where it is most comforable.
Good luck
