Cooling gravid females?

I'm trying to breed three females, and I think one may be gravid. I got kind of a late start, but I was wondering if I continue to cool them will it harm the eggs inside the gravid one? Right now I'm doing the night drop which brings down the temps to around 72-82.

Also, do the males have to be cooled as well? When I give my male a break, I put him in another rack with normal temps.

I would get the gravid female on heat ... she needs it ... otherwise you could get slugs ... been there, done that. ;)
