The whole point of a thermostat is to regulate a specified temperature. You put a probe in the enclosure that measures the temp and you set the temperature on your thermostat. If the ambient temperature changes the thermo rights itself so that it doesn't get too hot and burn the snake, or too cold and freeze your snake. That's what I was talking about. Not necessarily burning your snake but just regulating a set temp.
