Heat pads

[Eric Alan]

What thermostat would you recommend and also I heard if the probe on the thermostat moves, it's really bad, what would happen?

Herpstat is the brand most recommended (safe and reliable). If the probe moves, it's basically like the mat is trying to heat the whole room (not just the hot spot for your snake). It would be left running at full power and be like you didn't have a thermostat at all. For that reason, you sandwich the probe between the mat and the bottom of the enclosure.
