That will all work fine, but I don't know exactly how hot flexwatt will get without a rheostat(dimmer) to control temps on the warm end, and this will all vary ANYWAY depending on enclosure bottom thickness, ambient clost temps in your home,..etc...

I would DEFINITELY hook-up a dimmer(rheo) to control things, and have a very accurate temp probe/thermometer down at the actual cage floor bottom at the warm end for accuracy no matter what. And of course a couple hides on each end, and you should be good to go!

Oh!,...and make darn sure you have EXTREMELY secure lids, and plenty of holes melted in the sides and lid for air exchange.
