I would try a 75 watt bulb at first, and just mist the enclosure...just to see if it will work before you buy more stuff. The dimmer just makes it to where you can control how hot the bulb will get. Also, if you place a big waterdish under the light, it will help bump humidity. Aspen will hold humidity as well, Do you have a way to keep it on the shelf without it falling out every time you open the doors? I hated tubs but I gave up on trying to keep the right husbandry in tanks, it can be done but it was getting to be too big of a pain. Now I have a boaphile rack with 4 drawers and I love it! They also make some pretty sweet visible cages as well as animal plastics. You could always go with one of these, that way you can get 4 ball pythons AND something like a Red Tail boa to put in the large cage!
BUT this one will run you about $400 just for the bottom piece, the 2x6 cages on top are sold sepperately...its my dream rack.
