 Wuts everyones input on heat panels for a heat source in a custom cage???

ive been using one for a few months now and it works good, except the fact that it seems if the room drops below room tempeturew it doesnt seem to keep the custom cage i made warm enough! its probally my falt when i speaciel ordered it from a company from newyork ( pro-products) i had to answer question and one was what was the coldes the room the cage would be in get, i answered not below room temp. know that i put my snakes in a backyard trailer with no heater source it gets as low as 50 degrees f. so the heat panel cant keep up. i was wondering if any one elese has had any problems with the heat panels or was it just from the mistake i mentioned above? just to mention i do keep the room around room temp. for my boas comfort and health its just a hassle!

heat panels they use them in zoos and stuff! lol they are a source of heat that takes up less wattage, doesnt get over like 100 degrees surface temp so wont burn ur reptile if coming in contact and warms the cage to the proper heat when used with a thermostat and are special made for ur needs check them out. dont let my lil question put them down i wont use heat lamps just heatpanels! plus i dont use tanks. i got mine from pro-products.com check them out then u well no what i meen!
