I live in Texas where we have had 17 straight days of triple digit heat. I am a teacher and will be leaving my crabitat at the school overnight with ac off. How can I create a cool side of the tank?

That's pretty hot. Do you use any heat source during the day? What's the daytime room temp?
I wonder if a fan would help?
Or if you could take them to another location temporarily? Will there never be a/c at night, or is this temporary?
