I love how there are only 3 answers to this persons question and the rest are directed at someone else, and the answers have nothing to do with the op's question. Just answer the question asked and leave the rest alone. Arguing with him and telling him stuff he already knows solves nothing. If his method works for him then leave him be, even though it's not right, you don't need to maul him for it. There are tons of threads that speak about the importance of thermostats and I'm pretty sure he's read through a bunch of them. Jumping all over him isn't going to get thermostats hooked up to his heat pads especially since he's owned thermostats in the past. He never said to anyone to just throw out their thermostat and never use them again so just leave him alone and answer this persons question. Jeez.. And

@Physician&Snakes I 100% understand where you are coming from. That's all I'm going to say. Sorry about the rant.

Now back to the topic of this persons question @Op you can either use a heat pad (with thermostat of course since you know what happens without one now) or a heat lamp or use them both. I personally use both since my house is pretty darn cold and our heat likes to go out every year and it can get down to 50 degrees in the house so it's nice for them to have the warmth they need in the winter time but I would just try out each method and see what works best to keep temps correct and humidity in check hope this is helpful and hope you come to a correct answer amongst this mess.
