Heat pads! Yeah! So heat pads can reduce the amount of energy you use by decreasing the wattage necessary to heat your herp. Now heat pads cannot be the sole source of heat for basking animals but for most snakes and geckos, especially during the non-winter months a heat pad is all you need.
Heat pads work much like the defroster on your rear car window, using electrical resistance to produce heat. Instead of using 100 watts you may be able to use as little as 24 watts and get your reptile the same temperature hot spot it needs.
