Thank you both for answering.
I have a stick type for my larger tank. I found a small, plastic stick type on Amazon but it does not have a temp adjuster. I will keep looking for that type with an adjuster or the type in the link with an adjuster. I have a good thermometer.
They are under UVA and UVB lamps which are placed properly.
I "rescued" these tiny guys on Monday. I thought she just caught them as hatchlings and was selling them for profit (which I detest). But when I got there, I was informed she had had them for a year. You can imagine my surprise at their size (see photo).
The smaller one does not seem to be uncomfortable as he is very active. The larger is very lethargic although he started eating on Tuesday and is moving around a little more... just a little.
Both are eating cuttlebone.
I am not soaking in Pedialyte as I have researched this and have read conflicting opinions on where this can be more detrimental than helpful. These guys are so tiny, I just don't want to risk it. However, I am soaking in aquarium salt at 80 degrees and it was after one of these soaks the weak one started to eat.
I just hope I can turn around the MBD.
