If the nest is in a corner or anywhere along the side of the tank, I stand an ice block (those blue things for coolboxes) by the side of the nest.

If the nest is in a house (Esmeralda has two nests at the moment!) I put a tile that has been in the freezer on top. I keep 3 in the freezer, so I can swap them around.

At the moment here in Sagunto it's 30º in the shade, and she seems to be coping well with the heat. She comes out in the evening when it drops down to about 25º.

I also give her cucumber pieces straight from the fridge during the day. I place them near her nest, she pops her head out when she smells them and pulls them in with her to snack on.
