Drill 2 holes one for the heat mat and one for the thermostat and thermometer probe. This is best on the bottom. And you need a good digital thermometer (£5-15) and a thermostat (mat or temps stat will do fine).

Wire the heat mat in and place is on a flat surface ie the back the top or the bottom.
Put your thermostat and thermometer probe inside a tub and place the tub in the fridge. Turn everything on and then start testing temps untill you reach a steady desired temperature

I seen one with a brilliant success rate on an american forum, he used the vegetable drawer that came with the fridge(i know you dont have one, but im sure you could find an alternative container), filled it up with water, to take care of humidity, and just used a good old fashioned aquarium heater, complete with thermostat.
may need fine tuning, but it worked well for him
