In your situation, i would just buy an UltraTherm heat pad instead of flexwatt. Flexwatt is PERFECT for rack situations, but if left on a cheap thermostat or plugged into the wall, it can get up to 140 degrees, if not hotter and burn your snake. I would just get some Ultratherm heat pads and they almost never get above 110 when plugged in to the wall, so a dimmer switch is fine and is more than fine for a small setup. When you build a rack though, get either back heat with one huge strip of flexwatt or heat on each shelf and a really good thermostat, either Ranco, Johnson, Herpstat, or Helix.
