70°F = 20°C, that is a bit low, their optimum daytime temperature range is 25-27°C (75-82°F) with a drop at night to 22°C (72°F).
I would suggest you purchase a thermostat and heat mat to raise the temperature. _________________ Andrew Tillson-Willis

the heater needs to be regulated by a stat to keep constant temperatures, it also sounds like you may need a larger heater. _________________ Andrew Tillson-Willis
