Ypur options are basically a Radiant Heat Panel (RHP), heat lamp with a bulbs or Ceramic Heat Emitter (CHE). The other option is to heat the entire room, which isn't practical with only one snake.

RHPs are far and away the beat choice, but obviously the most expensive. Bulbs are the cheapest, but need replacing the most often. CHEs are around $30 I think and last a lot longer than bulbs without shining any light.

Bulbs and CHEs also dry the enclosure out, so tweaks will need to be made to achieve proper humidity.

The RHP would be mounted inside the cage on the ceiling. The bulbs would be placed where I would assume the enclosure has a screen for a heat lamp.
