A thermoSTAT is different than a thermoMETER. (Not shouting, just showing the difference, lol.) A thermoSTAT cannot usually be bought in a store. This is the least expensive on the market right now, and will do a decent job:

Your UTH plugs into it, and then the thermostat plugs into the wall. If you do not have one, your UTH will burn your snake. I know you don't want that to happen, so I want to make sure you're informed.![]()
