I wondering if you used a rubbermaid tub as the cage, wouldn't the heat lamp melt it?
No, as long as a thermostat is hooked up to prevent the temps from getting too high.
EDIT: I'm a dope, I didn't really pay attention to the fact you were asking about a heat lamp, and I suppose that would probably melt the heck out of the plastic unless you stuck the thermostat probe on the lamp or real close to it.

Depending on the ambient temps of the room, yes. I had a tub in a room with average temps of about 60 and using 2 thermostats and 2 strips of flexwatt, I kept my 81/91. So unless you are hitting subzero temps in your room, at least one side will be right
