 Urgent please help

I posted this in another post but maybe this will get answered faster if it has its own post

man it is hot today and i am having a terrible time keeping the temps below 80 and above 70.....so i got a fan on above the tank its not blowing in the tank just over it and it seems to be helping i have the air on.....i live in a trailer so it gets pretty hot in here.....with the fan the temps bounce around72-74 and now its getting higher even with the fan on without the fan it gets to 80+ but let me tell ya the digital thermometer is jumping up and down.,.....would a wet towel on top work or something to help keep it kewl
and i was thinking maybe a wet cool towel towel over half the top of the tank.....to help keep it cool while im gone for a few hours....Someone please help before i leave....

It’s alright to have the temps a little high for short times (like a day or two) just not all the time.

they made it i cam home to a 65 degree tank...i just put a cold damp paper towel in there so they could get on it if they got to hot....when i left the temp was at 81...and than it cooled off outside so im sure it went down to the 70s and by the time i got home it was in the 60s I just worry about the lil guys i love them so much and they are babies so i like to take extra special care of them


thank you
