They make ceramic screw type bulb (no light) that generates heat just for that purpose

Yeah but a tortoise is going to need belly heat for digestion and UVB light for metabolism from what I remember. Try kingsnake.com for some info here's a google search for you http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=reptile+forums&btnG=Google+Search
