I've been looking into heat tape so I can set the temp and not worry as much but I feel with the heat lamp on and it reach 90 in the house alone the temperature may be rising too much. But no signs of anything from my RTB and they're tanks are in the same room.
    You can use any sort of under tank heater with a thermostat. UTH costs 20-30.00 and a thermostat about 30 if you go with hydrofoam. If her temperatures aren't up, that is almost certainly the source of your issue. They NEED temps between mid-80s and 90 to digest. Otherwise, the food just rots in their stomach.

    Warmer ambient temperatures CAN work, but if it's getting as low as the 70s, then you've got a problem!
