Heating wooden enclosure

with flexwatt, how do I heat this:

It will be used for a hogg isle boa. So there's gotta be a way that I can heat it safely, without worrying about being electrocuted if the water bowl spills, etc.

Thanks

I have an UTH under my cages made of 5/8" plywood and more than enough heat gets through as I need them on a dimmer.

Heat tape, if it's set up to a reliable rheostat, the heat will easily make it through 1/2" plywood.
