Pygmys

[Jakedn]

Are there any pygmy species out there that tolerate higher temperatures such as the ones we get over here in southern california? I would really love to work with some pygmys in the future, but having no AC in my house makes it seem like it would be too difficult to keep temperatures low enough.

Some pygmys can handle short periods of high heat. I have pygmys and live in SoCal, without AC. Here recently I have had a few days where the cage reached the low 80's. Chams are doing fine, I just up'ed the misting. If your house doesn't get that hot for to long, I say go for it. If you have prolonged periods over 80, and not willing to get a small AC unit, I would not recommend them.
