CHE from beanfarm?

Is this a good product for a BP in a 10g glass tank? He's got a UTH also, it just doesn't keep the temps up enough. I've never bought a ceramic heating element before though so I'm not sure what wattage? Would the 30 watt one be good, since it's just supplementary heat really?

Just a curious question, but how in the world does a 10 gallon tank with a UTH not keep proper temps?? A tank that small should hold heat and humidity perfectly. At least, it does here...

Anyway, if you really need it a 30 watt shouldn't be too overpowering for a 10gal, but you'll really want to watch humidity. Those things suck it out like no tomorrow...

I'm not sure. He's not in the warmest room because he's quarantined, but it's not like I don't run the heat or something. But it doesn't stay as warm in there as I'd like with just the heating pad, and I don't want to stress him with constant light. I just also didn't want to get too strong of a ceramic thingy, so I'm having to research in a hurry.

ETA: yeah, this is the same rescued bally I posted about before. He's still not eating voluntarily but he's had a tube feeding and one force-feeding from me, so far so good-ish :x

Another question about ceramic heat emitters: I've read stuff about them heating objects but not air--what's up with that? How will I know the ambient temp? Is the description at beanfarm and other places wrong or am I missing something? Would I have to get the awesome laser gun thermometer for this? I've always wanted an excuse to buy that thing.
