I know there's a lot more experienced people out there, so they may have something to add, but one thing to ask is what have you done for the hot side?
If you have an undertank heater, or some other good heat source also available at night, I don't think the snake will suffer.
In their natural range, nightly lows can easily drop below the 60's
As for the dog, I think a snake would be very nervous with a big dog hanging around, certainly at first, but, just like having people hanging around, the snake should adapt and adjust. I'm curious to see how your dog reacts. If the dog doesn't pay it any attention, things should go even better.
