Heating alternatives

I'm looking for advice on alternative ways to heat a terrarium. Both of my current set ups are glass acquariums with screen tops (undertank heat mats & over head heat lamps).

I'm considering upgrading to a fully enclosured terrarium with glass/plexiglass/whatever windows that open in the front. Given that I don't want to spend money on a radiant heat panel, what other options do I have?

Is Flexwatt a versatile way to heat a terrarium of that type? Perhaps stick some on the bottom, maybe some on one side and/or on top of the cage for added heat?

Any other alternatives?

Thanks,
