No heating pads and no compact florescent light bulbs.
Every pet store sells this stuff and neither are recommended.
For uvb, some use a florescent strip lamp and a ceramic heat emitter for heat and some members use a mercury vapor lamp. They provide both heat and uvb.
I'm not honestly too familiar with Russian care or your location or type of enclosure. You'll have to decide how much you need.
