You'd need two to run two UTH at different temps. The Herpstat 2 would be better (a single Herpstat 2 can run your two heat pads) - but it's $200. Maybe you can find one used.
As for feeding live - whatever you do, make sure you don't leave the snake and rodent unattended. A mouse or rat can harm and even kill your snake.
