You could try using a heating pad. Like the kind humans have for ourselves. My bf is using one to heat a small leo cage right now. I suggest getting a thermometer to make sure you have a good temp as well.

I think a reptile UTH (under tank heater) for a tank that small will be less expensive than a human heatpad.
You're also gonna wanna buy a rheostat (like a plug-in light dimmer) and a digital thermometer with a probe. However you would need these things for whatever heating device you choose.
I also think that a 10 gal won't last you all that long, and if you get a stick-on UTH, you'll have to buy another one when your ball outgrows the 10 gal tank.
