I have my entire corn snake rack wired onto a dimmer, it works fine, temps are pretty much perfect. The problem is, I am sick of the 20 gallon long tank my sand boa is in. I would like to move her to a tub though she needs much higher temps. I have a spare piece of tape, I was wondering if I could wire it directly to a power cord instead of to a dimmer and just plug it in to a lamp dimmer that I have? Or does the tape have to be hard wired into a dimmer?
