Hi there! This is my first time on a snake/reptile forum but i'm sure i'll meet lots of friends!
As for my owning reptiles, i am soon going to own a normal male baby ball python

I'm super excited and i'm not sure if this is the right place to post questions but i have one question on heating pads.
I've read that you need a 'light dimmer' for heating pads(as well as a heat lamp which i'm probably not going to get unless needed).
But the question is, would i need a light dimmer if i had about an inch of aspen bedding in my 10 gallon glass tank? I don't want my snake getting burned 8(
Where can i get one of these light dimmers if i do need one??
