Would they be alright in 65-70?

I'm home for Christmas. I brought the corns and mother's house is 65-70F...
My hatching does not have a UTH, but the 2 y/o corn does...Should I go get another UTH, or a heat lamp...I'm here for 10 days. I know I SHOULD have a UTH for thermoregulation, but I figure he'll grow out of the 10 gallon soon enough...

If he is just a hatchling, he will be in that 10 gallon for a while. Get another UTH for that tank, and regulate it with a thermostat. They would probably be fine in those tempatures, but you are risking health problems, along with a regurge if its close after feeding time.

It would be alright at those temps for a short time, just don't try to feed her without a warm spot in the low to mid 80s. I'd go ahead and buy a UTH and a thermostat/rheostat. You don't have to attach it to the 10 gallon. Just tape it to the outside with duct tape or something, then when your corn is ready for a bigger tank, you can use the same UTH.
 
I'd put the UTH on the side of the hatchlings cage & butt the 2 year olds cage up against it. Or if it large enough, have each cage sitting over half the UTH. I have cages that share heating pads.
