as long as there is a temp and humidity gradient in the tube they should be okay. 72 isn't going to boil them alive. You may want to only have one strand of your heating cable underneath them though, because the cable can over heat if it overlaps/is close together, apparently.

4x Camponotus (hyatti?)
