Right here on this site , in the classifieds, there's a cage and supply section. You can price them out yourself. There's different kinds of thermostats (on-off, proportional), you can find info on many brands in the cage/supply forum , there's many likes and dislikes to read about.
Your room temp can be controlled by whatever heat source came with the house. I keep my snake room in the mid 70's, and heat some of the cages with ceramic heat bulbs (no light)@ around $25-$40 depending on where you buy them, and some cages have radient heat panels (10 yr warranty)@ around $80-$90, but worth it. All run off thermostats. I have no experience with Flex-watt yet, but I understand that there are wrong ways to use it - poorly connecting them, I think it's bad to put your cage directely on top of it w/o leaving a bit of space. Again , answers are already in the cage/supply forum
