Can a BP be kept in a cool room with a heating pad as a sole heat source?

Don’t breeders keep ( and breed) them in little plastic tubs sat on heat mats or heat tape ??

I’ve no idea ( or experience) of how they’d have ceramic bulbs in a plastic tub

The rack below has a heat mat on the BACK-SIDE so I’ve no idea how that works ..

Most have a dedicated snake room with the whole room ambient temperature set around 80 so the tape is only needed to create a hot spot. In my case, I don't even need to run the extra heat in the summer because keeping the door to my snake room shut builds up enough heat. Racks are typically better insulated than a fish tank so the tape alone usually bumps up the whole tubs temperature.
