Can you keep them warm using a heating pad underneath. or is it better for a light on top. Right now their in the snake room which we keep at about 85.

x2 they should be fine and thrive in that room.If they're in the snake room, 85* should work very well without additional heat.
85 is a really good temperature, but if you have a heating pad that you can use to raise it another 5 or 10 degrees, that will be even better. I wouldn't go out and buy one for that little boost, but if you have one around I would use it as long as it won't raise the temp above 95.

Hello experienced Meal wormers.......
I have a question that has been bugging me for a while now. I started my colony a couple of months back and now have quite a bit more than one beetle. For a while there I could only find one beetle.
I realize they are doing okay but for the last month or so they just don't eat the carrots I put in with them. This week I tried potatoes and not even a nibble! They molded after three days and I had to go dig them out. Yuck!!!!! I hate messing with the bugs. Especially now that the beetles are in there with their very clingy legs. They give me the heebies!
Anyway....... Does anyone have any idea why they wouldn't eat the carrots or potatoes? They used to.
Once I finally get my chickens I thought I would be able to fish out some worms by putting a slice of potato down. ***But I put many slices down and they weren't even touched.
