Describe your setup for them. A picture would help also.
I found babies need it simple. A tub/tank, substrate(paper for yougins), and something to bask on(small tile, rock, even a piece of egg carton). Keep it warm/bright. 110-115 basking, 80 or so on the other end, with it being pretty bright and using a good uvb bulb(reptisun 10.0). If using a tank, sometimes siding 3 sides with white poster board helps to keep it bright and feel more secure.
You can raise your temps by doing a lot of things....what are your cool side temps? If they are on the money, then something simple like raising your basking spot will increase the basking temps. If overall temps are a bit low, you may need to either raise the wattage of the bulb, or cover/insulate the tank or tub.
I wouldnt use an undertank heater.
