Are you insulating the floor as well?
There is a thread here somewhere about installing a heat mat in a wooden enclosure. I personaly am loving the radiant heat panels I switched to. I use a 120 watt in a 6x2x2 boa enclosure.
I would assume if your going that size your boa is adult and although it would have no trouble climbing a 2x2 I would think a 4x4 would be much better. Or a few 2x2s together.
