I don't have any experience (yet) with the Kane heat mats...but the ceramic heaters are indeed great as basking sites. Pearlco and ZooMed make good ones...make sure it isn't too hot under the bulb and make sure you monitor temps carefully before placing your tortoise in the heated enclosure. A big problem with these arid species is dehydration (weirdly enough) in captivity, so you need to be religious with your soakings as well. I'm not sure about the cold floor thing, but if you go to the following website, you might find some additional helpful information...Good luck!
