If you light to heat your enclosure, you get a localized dry spot, the cage. The effect is evident in tortoises because a lot of become dehydrated and in combination of both lack of calcium and growing to fast develop shell deformity. i know some animals that died while sleeping under a light.
Now the ceramic heating elements gives off infared ray. Anything that is heated gives off infared and the infared also heats up the object.
