There are a lot of variables in that equation.......

How high into the mid 80's

How long at the hotter temps

Cage construction (a cage with more thermal mass will resist the rising temps better than a lower thermal mass cage.

Thermostat on the cage(s) if they shut off power to the heat elements they would not add to the problem.

Herp room?

Other cages in the herp room set hotter could make the entire room hotter than the rest of the house.

Two story or one story home? First floor rooms are usually cooler then second floor rooms.

To answer your specific question, yes, it could stress out your BRB if the whole cage gets into the mid 80's for extended periods of time but some pockets(damp moss hide box) can be coller so even though the room is mid 80's, parts of the cage can be a refuge from the heat.
