    You didn't really give us a lot of options...

    My heating method of preference is a radiant heat panel... However, you're missing more than just that.

    I recently switched to RBI's Radiant heat panel for my ball python.

    You need a wooden viv in order to use this but it's been great, and cheaper than ProHeat.

    I use a Radiant Heat Panel and a small undertank heat pad for the warm side of the cage. RHP's are EXCELLENT for maintaing appropriate ambient temperatures. I have an Animal Plastics enclosure and the RHP mounts right to the ceiling....i'm not quite sure if you could mount one in a glass tank with a screen lid.

    I use a heatpad.
    But also an infrared bulb to keep ambient temps up.
