look into the large heat mats, not really sure exactly what the dimensions are on your cages but the large heat mats or maybe even the style of heat mats they use for hogs.
but i have the 6 inch heat tape on the bottoms of the out side of my vision cages and a heat lamp in the lamp hole, with the two combined it works out pretty well

I have 3 radiant heat panels from Reptile Basics.

All three are on thermostats. 2 are for RTBs and one is used for my ATBs. I have never had an issue with them not heating enough.

I have 9 RBI heat panels being used in visions, neos, and animal plastic cages and they all produce plenty of heat. Even in a room at 55'. I have all of them on thermostats.

My King Cobras are in 6ft slant front neos in a room that is brumating for colubrids at 55'. Their cage floor temp under the panel is 78'.

I am currently keeping my room around 75 degrees and my 40w and 80w panels do not even use 40% power to achieve a 88-90 degree hot spot. I use 4'x36"x18" boamasters. Last year, the ambient room temp was around 70 degrees and I don't think it had to use more than 50% power unless it was reheating after being opened. I use herpstat thermostats that tell me the % when used on pro.

I think,in the long run it's best to heat the room. I keep my boa room at 85. Use no panels,just heat tape. Never an upper ri or a wheeze. If the room is well insulated it holds heat well. My biggest room in my basement used one oil radiator and kept it at 83 during the winter. Cost about $80 ish per month.

They're UL listed unlike the RBI panels.
