Any brand of reptile heat mat/pad is suitable for use on rubbermaids, as well as helix or flexwatt heat tape. All of these need to be controlled by a dimmer, thermostat, or other device as most of them will reach non-herpfriendly temperatures. I would recommend avoiding the use of human heat pads. They do have the convenience of a built-in temperature controller, but they carry an increased risk of fire hazard. Many people may have used them for years with success, but there are still those that have lost their herps and homes to them as well. They were not designed to be left on 24/7......
