How do you cool a terrarium? Peltier coolers are kinda expensive and I'm not good wih electronics. I don't wanna buy an AC for 50 bucks either.

Build a swamp cooler. They are pretty basic but will help a couple degrees at least.

I need something small, and again, I'm not good at building stuff

Swamp cooler = blowing air through damp cloth

This is exactly what I wanted to do for my Heli terrarium. I wanted to go with a computer fan and I wasn't sure if i could figure out a way to plug it in to a socket or go with batteries. Ended up letting the Heli's just sort themselves out.

Oh, when you first said swamp cooler I was thinking of those large, evaporative coolers

I'll try that out

I just wire those up to old AC adapters (anywhere from 5-12V depending on the speed you want it to run at.)
