Not really. You can build upward by putting cardboard tubes on top of eachother. Most likely they'll bury themselves in the frass if they want warmth and they can move up the cardboard stack to get cooler if they wish. I have the opposite setup with an overhead heat projector and they tend to congregate around the middle of the stack under the heat bulb.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
