How do you keep the water at temperature for a betta?
If you betta is in a small tank, placing it in a location that has a warm ambient room temperature should be enough to keep it to betta preferred warmth. If you do not, then you should look at getting a small heater for your tank, but you may need to get a larger tank to allow for the use of a heater as there are no heater models made for anything smaller than a 2.5 to 5 gallon tank.

It is unsafe to heat anything smaller than two gallons. As long as your room temperature is reasonable (68-76ish for a betta) you should have no problems. If not get at least a two gallon tank and heater, one with an internal thermometer unless you want to monitor it 24 hours a day.
