I have looked into them but after literally hours of research on wattage required for a specific temperature in a given tank size and finding absolutely no useful information I decided to do a test run with the cheapo bulbs to figure out what level of heat will be ideal. I really like the idea of ceramic but they are pricey for someone who has no idea what they are going for lol. I will probably invest in one once I have had time to try out a couple of wattages and see what best fits the situation. Plus I sort of wanted to have a way to see him exploring at night without disturbing him. I am always up quite late, so I am awake when he is active, but i hate having to turn on lights in the room to watch him. My prior solution was to lay in bed and aim my tablet screen at the ceiling or wall but that is sort of a pain, plus he probably doesn't like the varying color and brightness when a show is pointing at him. Figured this would be a more practical approach and would keep him nice and cozy at the same time.

Just out of curiosity is there a benefit to ceramic beyond the extended bulb life and reliability?
