Yup, like everyone else said, 100 degrees is too hot. Also I prefer belly heat supplied by heat tape rather then a bulb for basking. But for a Rheostat, I build my own. go to a hardware store and get a hard plastic junction box, a faceplate for it, a rheostat and an extension cord. Add a bit of silicone caulk to seal everything up tight and you can build something just as good as the commercially available product for about 7-8 bucks maybe even cheaper.
