Do you cool your breeders?

I do things a little different...my ambient room temp stays between 82-85. I have my tape on a timer that is set to cut it off at 2am and back on at 6am. Once I start breeding that will go from 12am to 6am. This is only for the females, males heat is not adjusted. This eliminates a hot spot for a few hours but temps still don't drop below the ambient temp.

i actually cooled last year but i also moved so my females (but 1) re absorbed. but the clutch was 6 eggs with a 100% hatch rate. temps were about 76 at night ambient and heat tape about 87
