    Do you have heat in the cages?

    What is the ambient temp in the room?

    ambient temp means the overall temperature of the environment - in your case, the room temp of the sunroom.
    The term sunroom to me sounds like there will be lots of sun light getting into the room - make sure that no direct sunlight reaches any of the glass cages - that'll cook your herps in there.

    yes are 4 windows in the room could i get like blinds so they do not get direct sunlight??i'm thinking in the summer it's gonna get pretty hot in there i can turn their heat lights off during the day i bought a big temp gauge to keep a track on the temp at all times i really don't know how hot the room will get during the hot months, what temp do i not need to let it get over???{just the room temp} iput them outside in wire cages in the summer months theyseem to like that i know it will be different in a indoor room i can turn the air on in the room if need be...i"ve never done this with a sun room so i really don't know...
