New Ball Python Owner....?

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.

For someone who is experienced, yes it wouldn't take much time at all. But the fact that he was even asking means he was struggling. I am not trying to start a fight. I know you were just trying to answer his question but personally, your answer made no sense to me. I figured if I didn't know how to wire a dimmer, and neither did the OP, he would also not understand your answer. So I gave him a different solution.

I don't understand why you are trying to achieve by arguing about this.
