Go here and scroll down a little. The Boa Constrictor Manual is a great book. It will teach you all you need to know.

This is your best bet as far as heating (hot spot)
Use a wood bottom on your cage, with linoleum glued to it, or use a melamine bottom, something that is water proof. The plastic is way to expensive. The Flexwat will heat through it no problem. For a 4' x 2' cage, a couple feet of the 11" would be good.

These panels work well in combination with the flexwatt, to get the ambient temps up in your cage.

This is a great way to control the temps (Flexwat) in your cage. However, a dimmer switch will work fine for someone on a budget.

Here is a cage building discusion forum with a lot of good information.
