I don't kno whow you are going about cage construction but the animal should be in no way allowed to contact flexwatt.
However I would just use a thinner replaceable floor and attach the flexwatt to the underside of that, perhaps using some reflectix to radiate the heat towards the cage.
Chris Harper has mentioned it a thousand tmes eaither cut a square out of the bottom the sixe of the element you choose to use or staple teh floor directly to the front back and sides and be the entire bottom.
Either way the flexwatt should be around the size of the entire animal when basking. Two much and you don't provide a relief or a cool side and too little and your underheating a large boid.
Good Luck
