They keep warm with the ambient temps and residual ground heat.

You can try a radiant heat panel and belly heat for your enclosure.
I really don't like heat lamps because they destroy humidity much too easily.
So a basic ambient temperature with some conduction heating. Do you think putting rocks on the heat mat would be good as well as an ambient source?
