Baby corn snake heat

I have 13 baby corn snakes from breeding my adults. I have them in separate 6 quart bins. My house stays around 80-85 in day time and id say 75-77 at night. Would they be fine with no heat pads or no extra heat? I have a 10 tub rack with heat tape but the tubs are 41quart so they would be way to big. im planing on keeping them all for breeding in the future so i would like to know if they will be ok.
 
At those temps I don't see why they wouldn't be okay. Keep in mind though belly heat is helpful for digestion, which I would assume is fairly important for babies, so it's really up to you.
 
10 out of 13 is awesome! I usually get like 1 or 2 out of 10 on my first (and second and third, etc) attempt. :D

The temps you mentioned are fine without supplemental heat.
 
my trick is to keep them in 12oz deli cups till they eat at least 4-5 times no prob.then ill move them to the 6quart tubs but they are about 3 weeks old and it there first time eating for most of them.
 
First of all, I don't use heat pads on my snake, and he has never regurgitated or had any apparent digestive issues. I use heat lamps and they work fine. The room that I keep him in also gets between 80 and 85 during summer days, and I just don't turn it on those days. I did a quick little experiment the other day to settle my mind about the belly heat issue. When the ambient air temp was 85, the temp of the substrate was pretty close to the same. So I would say they would do great like that.
