my heating pad is a Sunbeam... same kind of heating pad you might use to soothe a pain in your back or shoulder.
This isn't the same model but it looks pretty much the same
Sorry, don't have a camera at the moment. If interest in this post persists I'll post a pic.
I can describe it i think... take a towel, fold it in half, then half again. place the heating pad on top of the towel. Roll the towel and heating pad up (like a cinnamon roll). Place the roll into a pot and allow it to unroll, leaving an open space in the center.
This is the glass cylinder jar I use.. the tallest in this pic. Place that in the center.
should I try to clarify more?
I experimented with water first, to make sure I could maintain the 110-120 degrees required. I use a probe thermometer to keep watch on the process.
What I would do is get a plain old heating pad (something like this) and stick it under the tank (not in it!) so that the heat radiates up through the bottom. HOWEVER, don't have it extend the full length of the bottom of the tank -- maybe only half or a third. If the pad heats up more than it should, you don't want to overheat your hamster.
The ones made for pets tend to be gentler, so you could also try something like this.
For warmer bedding, you can try Kapok shell fluff (like this, but can also be bought at PetCo). It has shorter fibers than the cotton fluff that causes controversy, so is safer for your ham.
Also get a space heater and put your ham near it (but not too close, because you don't want to go overboard and overheat them).
I agree with the other comments that you should really work on getting the temperature up in your house in general.
Aside from that, I have heated pads that my cats love to sleep on. I've had them for over four years now and they're still working great! You just have to make sure you set them on low only, as the medium and high settings get too hot to handle for more than a few minutes at a time.
That's exciting! Here is my item to help with my awful back pain/bodily aches
A whole new you
Something good that happened to me lately... I went swimming at a beach the other day!
I use a Sunbeam heating pad or similar.
Place the cage on top of a heating pad (set on LOW heat), the warmth will radiate up to warm the bedding. Make sure the cage has LOTS of bedding for them to burrow in for warmth. Put the heating pad under 1/2 of the cage, so that if it gets too warm they can move to the other side to cool down.

Similar to that design, just got my cat this one and it's really nice. Prior to the bed, he would lie on this heating pad.
I'm trying to combine the two right now. The cat cave has a thick, plushy cushion so the pad doesn't work under it, and the pad's kind of stiff so no good on top of it. I used safety pins to secure the heating pad cover across the inside top of it, which seems to be working well. It's like a cozy low-temp oven inside!

Ive just been setting the fermenter on it, but taping it on the side would probably be better. No need to heat the yeast cake.
I use this during downtime:

This one looks like the one that I have. It's pretty big and I usually keep it folded in half. I really only keep it on level 1 or 2 and maybe have a pillow on top to help hold the heat in and get a little more pressure, laying on it also works.
I'm not sure which one you saw. The couple I have just plug in and one has a temperature control knob on it. It doesn't give you a read-out of the actual temperature so I use a temperature gun to check the temperature when setting it up. You also don't have to limit yourself to reptile pads, basic heating pads without auto-shutoff will work. Something like this. I would probably search online until you can figure out what temperature ranges it will get to before you buy.
