You use a temperature controller to prevent overheating of the heat tape. A lamp dimmer wired onto heat tape is the easiest method but not the best necessarily unless the heat tape is "muted" with a metal conductive surface. This is what Freedom Breeder does.
I urge you to look at the classifieds on kingsnake.com for Cages/Supplies/etc. There is an ad for metal racks made in California that uses large Iris boxes large enough for adult BPs. I've seen the racks in person, and they are awesome. I can't remember their name at the time of this writing, but I'll check for that later.
Also consider Freedom Breeder. For around $500 you can have clean, heated, large boxes ready to go.
If you want to make your own rack, get the boxes first, then make the rack around those. Stores like Office Depot sell Iris boxes that are large.
