The thermostat- is that to measure the temp inside the cage, or to measure the temp the pad puts out. Do UTH's built for reptiles even need rheostats/ thermostats?

It's to measure the temp inside the cage. Where the snake will be. It doesn't matter what temp the actual heat pad is, as long as you know the temp inside the cage is the right temperature, that's what's important.
It's a good idea to get a rheostat at least. UTH's built for reptiles usually stay 90 to 100 degrees. That might be good for some reptiles, but not corn snakes.
 
I use both the ExoTerra and Cobra mats. They can go inside or out, on the bottom or on the sides, are relatively durable, don't have any adhesive and get nicely warm but not hot and no hot spots. Plus, they cost the same or less than an equivalent human pad. I bought my last batch at www.reptiledirect.com.
