Keeping the temperature down/cool

I'm planning on getting a black milk snake a few months down the road. It will also be my first snake. After doing a bit of research, they like their dwelling habitat to be in the 70s. Most people even say they do not use a heater (except maybe in the winter depending where they are at) with this species. I think my room usually stays in the 70s but being in Florida, it might be over. My question would be this, besides the AC, is there a way to keep the animal's enclosure in the 70s?
 
I live in Florida. My room temps vary from 72ish if I leave the windows open overnight, there's a good cross breeze, and it cools off, but more likely 7ish at night, because economics dictate how much I run the AC. During the day temps are generally 82-84. Might get up to 86. My snakes do just fine. I don't have heat on, on the adults, after the overnight room temps are up to mid-70s, but I keep heat on babies 0-2 years at all times- set at 82-85, depending on what they're living in.
