Unless it's a very large bowl (4-5 gallons) then I definitely would not recommend using an aquarium heater. It should adjust to room temp over 24 hours though.
Any reason why you can't feed your snails in the tank though?

Before I got a bigger tank{for my snails}..and I realised Sid needed to come out of the fish tank I kept him on a small goldfish bowl inside a washing up bowl..the heater was in the water in the washing up bowl and that kept the water in the little bowl nice and warm...hope that helps Linda

You could put the bowl on top your fish tank hood and let the heat from the light keep it warm.

if i ever take my snails out to eat i just fill my little bowl with tank water, that way its safe, and the same temp/nitrite/ammonia blah blah blah levels
