Ambient temps during the night??

Set up for 4-6 month old snow corn:
-10 gal with UTH on one side hooked up to thermostat. Probe sits on glass above mat and keeps temp between 84-86 under substrate.
- I have a digital thermometer on the other side sitting on top of the substrate. During the day that temperature stays between 72 and 75 but at night it cools off quite a bit and the ambient temperature on the cool side gets down to the high 60's (67+).

*is there a way to heat ambient temperature at night (besides space heater).
 
Temperatures drop in the wild, too. I don't see an issue. If it gets too cold on the cool side it will move to the warm.
 
I think our member Karl had the solution. You don't really need to raise the temp in the whole vivarium. Have a heat pad on the warm side and one on the cool side set to the substrate temps you desire.
 
I would think that the corn would stay where it's comfortable. Your temps look good to me, but the two mat idea is a good one.
