    A dimmer is for light bulbs only. You need a thermostat not a dimmer. Thermosats are available in a good a reptitle store or an electrical wholesalers.

    Ah, thanks tcob1, that makes a lot more sense, lol, googy was not turning up anything. :)

    If thats the case, then yeah, as bond said, get a thermostat, trying to "bodge" a control using a light bulb dimmer, if it did somhow work, I doubt would be reliable.
