I currently use human heating pads under all my rubbermaid setups. I havent had any problems with them yet.

I have had that pad for 4 years and has been removed and attached and removed and attched every time my old glass tank was cleaned. But it still works great its a great heat pad for the money.

Zoo Meds aren't worth the money, in petco a 10 gal zoo med heat pad costs 20 dollars with tax ...
When you can get an gigantic size human heat bad from Walmart for 10 dollars!

In my custom enclosure http://bk.servebeer.com/~fonzy/index.html i have a heating pad with the paper still on, and it keeps my geckos side of the cage plenty warm... the substrate is covering it for now, should i permanetly put it in the cage floor?

Do you have it right in the cage? Not underneath? I haven't heard of many people keeping the heatpad right inside the cage, unless covered by something like glass or something to keep the animal from the pad itself. Could cause burns.

The heat pads are not supposed to be in the enclosure, but underneath!! They wcan burn your animal if it ends up moving the substrate away and stay in contact with it. Get it out!
