    What about a ceramic heat emitter?

    I second this question, it would be great if it is usable, love to use those for my snakes when UTH is not enough.

    I really cant see a ceramic heat emitter causing any problems.

    These work well, but can get extremely hot if not hooked up to a thermostat or a lamp that has a dimmer switch. Of course like all heating bulbs they need to be used with a lamp that has a ceramic socket due to how hot they get.
