i am not sure why the previous poster would say not to use an analog thermostat. i have quite a collection of snakes here and use johnson's w/o any issue.

you can also set the johnsons to kick on and off at certain temp. differences.

i would never use a dimmer switch, they are cheap and they do work, but they send an even amount of power to the heat source, if there is any fluctuation of temps in the room you have your animal in, this could spell disaster.
The temp changes would have to be pretty drastic. . .
