I used to have a heat mat and it heated up the frass at the bottom and they'd just bury down into it. I've since replaced that (fire hazard concern due to age) with a ceramic heat emitter that sits above my tank. I only use it during the winter and keep them at room temp during the summer. There are heat bands available that go around the sides of the bin but I haven't tried those.

Ceramic heat emitter is the way to go.
Just play around checking the humidity and temperature in between moving the bulb higher or closer from the bin. Too close and you get a higher temp but the humidity goes down real quick.
You have to find the sweet spot.
After a couple days I finally keep a 90° temp and 75% humidity
