I would not recommend Petsmart or Petco as a good source for any reptile supply, for heat pad or heat tape as well as thermostat this can be your one stop shop

For a single stand alone tub I would recommend a heat pad and simply place the tub above it, if you tape it and need to clean the tub it's just gonna be messy and take longer.
Weird. I'm not gonna argue with experience (I'm not the expert here) but I had one of those 20.00 Zoomed UTH's completely uregulated for about a week and while it got warm to the touch it never got uncomfortably hot to the touch on the surface. It sure wasn't hot enough on melt anything touching it. Not good for the snake and absolutely get some kind of thermostat going for the snake's safety, and listen to the experienced guy though.

You can get a "dimmer switch" from Lowes or Home Depot that will work until you get a thermostat. Takes a bit to get it set to the right temp but it will work.
