I have the same problem but mine get hotter than that even. I use cypress mulch as well as moss. I offer a moist hide as well as glass jars that stand more vertically than horizontally. When it is really hot I spray twice daily. Even when my cages reached mid 90's at times, my snakes did not just hang out in water bowls... I keep a fan blowing from far away pointed at the cages as well as a celing fan to circulate the air.



I have seen no negetive effects in behavior or feeding. I have been experimenting with the moist hide as another poster put here. I took a laybox and and packed it with mulch sprayed it and my mex mex loves it! I just spray the moss inside my other hides so I don't have to change all 12 hides.
