Will floating them in a warmer tank not work?

Or place them on a reptile heat cord or mat/pad (elevated so it doenst burn the tub), and monitor the temp, thatll be a good idea.

floating them is all good till a biggish fsh smacks the container around and it all sinks in your tank.... thought about a heat pad then some foam then container... tiny heater seems the way to go i think...
