I know that, but I'm saying that some people put them inside the tank. They can also fall and many other things can contribute to something going wrong. I properly provide the necessary husbandry for my snakes and I've never had any issues with a dimmer switch. I use the Luctron from Lowe's. I also checked everything for two weeks, several times a day before even putting my snakes in there.
