Not Sure What Products I Need! Please Help!
I now know that I need a thermostat to control the temperature, but I do not know anything about hooking them up to heat devices and such. I have a flukers 150 watt lamp and an exo terra UTH. Someone please tell me the process of hooking up a thermostat to these and recommend brands and models and such. I want to get one by this weekend. Thank you everyone for being patient with my noob questions!

The best thermostats you can buy are herpstats.

The cheaper option:

When you get your thermoSTAT, you plug your heat pad into it. You take your probe and secure it OVER the heat pad on the OUTSIDE of your tank.
Do NOT have the thermoSTAT probe inside the tank, as your snake can move it, pee on it, and will ultimately screw up your probe reading.
You'll then set the thermostat to a suitable temperature to achieve your 90 degree hotspot inside the cage.
With a lamp, you'll need a light dimmer. You can find these anywhere and they're usually only around $10. You'll plug the lamp in and adjust until you get proper temperatures.
