Dimmers are just standard light dimmers. You can buy a $13 plug-in dimmer at Home Depot. It will work for lights or heat tape or heat pads or heat panels.
I still frown on heat tape under a wood cage. Adult boas need warm air. They come from the tropics. Warm air, not cool air and a warm floor. Not to say you can't use some Flexwatt too, but Flexwatt alone with no air heating doesn't sound good to me if your room temp gets cold.
You can still use a dimmer on the light to bring the temps down. And yes, you should have a thermostat too, but if you just want to use the dimmer for now, fine.
Honestly, to breed boas takes a certain setup, and the setup usually costs more than the boas if they aren't expensive morphs. How do you plan to house the babies if you are successful?
