Concerned about my ball python

Why can't you run multiple appliances off one thermostat? The one she uses has 2 plugs & says that you can run 2 things. I have the same one. I only use it for the UTH and my red heat lamp is on a dimmer, but I'm just curious since it says you can run 2 things.

I should have clarified - you can have multiple appliances if they are exactly the same, such as heat tape on a rack. A heat lamp and UTH should have their own controllers.

Also I have that t-stat, it's an on/off switch type, not a proportional where it adjusts the amount of power. So while fine for a UTH, the OP will see the lights turn off and on all the time as the t-stat works, which would be annoying (to me anyway).
