Like this?

I haven't heard of anyone using those, would these be for ambient heat?

Ambient heat is the temperature within your enclosure. If you live in a colder area you may have to raise the heat in the entire enclosure to fit your Tegu's needs.

Oh ok I got you yeah never have seen anyone use them. I guess you can always try them out. I use ceramic heat emitters in the winter. I have them on a controller so I can dial it in a bit.
