I would leave the heatmat on as it can take a while for the temps to settle down again once you switch it back on. Corns don't require a lamp anyway, as long as Roxy has water it shouldn't be a real problem.

with mats an lamps on thermostats they will turn themselfs off when the temp goes over what there set at so just let the stats do they job. not alot u can do in this weather cool end temps will naturally rise with the ambiant air temp. make sure they got a fresh full water bowl an leave some windows open so theres so breeze through the room.
