I have two more probably stupid questions, but I feel I better ask, I don't want to do something wrong and have problems down the road.

The first, what do you mean by wiring them parallel? Is this what I was asking if you can do earlier where you have all the strips wired so that its one big string like with Christmas lights (one plugged into the end of the other) or all the wires come together in one place and then connected to the plug.

Now for the second question, I haven't figured out which room of the house I am going to put the rack in. Mostly because my fiance and have different opinions. I want to put them in the extra bed room where I keep my bearded dragons, but she is not a big fan of snakes, and doesn't want them on the main level of the house, and would rather the be down stairs in the basement. Now the spare bedroom the average temp is is mid 70's. If I end up having to put them in the basement that can get quiet cold some times, I would say mid 60's.
