Our first snake - feeding questions

I use Ceramic heat emitters - they provide 24hr heat with no messing around - just make sure htey are guarded so the snake cant get to them and they have a thermostat.

THe snake wont eat whilst it is too cold as it needs the heat for digestion - get the heat right, then wait a week for the snake to get used to it before attempting to feed again.

Thanks! Could you give me an idea of what a ceramic heat emitter is (sorry, we are brand new at this snake thing). Can I order ti online? Also, we have him in a glass 10 gallon tank, is that OK?
