Sure the OP should get a thermostat.
Wiring up a dimmer takes about 10 minutes. I would rather waste ten minutes on a patch then have my snake not have heat or have to much heat.
The OP had no idea what to do. Now the OP has a couple options.
You provided what you consider to be the simplest solution. You and I have no idea what other factors are at play for the OP.
The OP bought dimmer switches and was asking how to wire them. I was not making the OP's life harder. I was answer a direct question. You know....like we do here...on the forum.
