heat pad with a fan, simple DIY resistance heater, converted food dehydrator, light in a can (I don't like this one very much). Use your imagination on this one but these are some time tested solutions.

What about a tube heater?

I use car headlight bulbs inside soda cans with computer fans blowing across them so the heat moves, and everything runs on 12vdc.

I installed a 100 watt bulb in a paint can with a fan blowing across it and I keep 68 deg F with ease. I haven't had to cool the chamber at all. I am really pleased with it.

I do the same, without the fan. I picked up a tough work bulb after my first went out.

I've also seen people use a personal ceramic heater purchased from Amazon. I do not know how big it is, but, it has a decent heat output and an automatic shut off if the heater gets too hot. I thought about going that route, but, had all the paint can heater supplies on hand so it was very inexpensive.

I use a ceramic reptile bulb in a desk lamp. Like this one, http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=16657676&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo
