In a tub, it's best to heat the room to proper temps, but with some modification you could put a CHE or RHP in it. Just takes a lot more planning to make sure it doesn't melt the plastic, since both heat stronger than a heat lamp.

Although temps can drop during the night I wouldn't let the room get below 80F on heat tape/pad only. Ambient heaters can increase the temps a lot easier, so mid- to low-70's at night shouldn't be a problem with a CHE or RHP.
