The Flexwatt installed by Boaphile works well when your room temperature is above 72 deg or so - this assumes we are speaking about keeping boas. The installation is really nice. They make it so cages can be stacked while each has undercage heat. And it is replaceable.

Radiant heat panels (RHP) work nicely in any plastic cage, so you can use overhead heating if you want. I like RHPs because they are safe to touch, easy to install, efficient, heat a wide area and allow the reptile to fine-tune its basking needs, being that the gradient is, well, more of a gradient than a heat pad surrounded by unheated floor. Price is high unfortunately. Such is life.
