    Herpstat or rheostat?

    I need a heat temperature controller for my 60w CHE. Ive recieved some feedback from
    veterans and experiences reptile owners but i wanted to get another shot at it before buying the item.

    My plan was to buy a Herpstat EZ2 for the CHE and also take advantage of the second output and upgrade my heat mat’s JumpStart into that Herpstat. Take into account both CHE and UTH will both be on the Herpstat EZ2.
    However a breeder with years of experience recommended a dimmer or rheostat for the CHE since it will keep the temps on without having the herpstat turn it on and off as it reaches the desired temps.
    But if i do this the heat mat will still be with my Jumpstart thermo.
    Please add links

    Also where in the tank should i put my CHE and Herpstat probe(if thats your answer)?More to the hot side? My cold hide gets as cold as 73F usually.

    Ive had this snake for a week now so everything is kinda new.

    thanks in advance
