In my PVC cages I use flexwatt (UTH) to provide a hot spot. (surface temp) because I live in such a warm place I very rarely have to increase the temperature of the air. When I do I use Radiant Heat Panels. These work great in enclosed cages, but don't work well in glass tanks or tubs. For glass tanks heat lamps and ceramic heat emitters are the best way to raise air temps, but have the nasty tendency to kill humidity. Tubs are the hardest to maintain air temps in because they are extremely dependent on the air temperature of the room they are in. Most people heat the room or at least part of a room. For a single tub I have seen some people rig a heat lamp so it is suspended over or is pointing at the tub to increase air temps. This will probably be the cheapest/easiest method for a small number of tubs.
