Do snakes need airconditioner?

If your temps reach the mid to high 80's what you do is keep them with ambient temp only and no hot spot.

I have been keeping my animals the mid 80"s with no hot spot for years.

I live in the desert, and I have a thermostat/probe in the enclosure of my BPs that hangs down to monitor ambient temperature. If it gets above 85 all heat sources turn off in the enclosure. So yes, you don't want to overheat the snakes. In the winter it's not a problem but in the summer our home thermostat is set at 78-82 and it might get a lot warmer in the enclosure.
