Personally, I like these. They tend to last longer than what you chose. http://www.reptilebasics.com/ultratherm-heat-pads

For thermostats, you really need to look at digital. Here's a cheap one that works well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010GFADNM/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_n7atzbD562RRD

Buy a thermostat for the heat pad and you won't have that problem.

I use this one!

I wouldn't use a heat mat without one to be honest

You can get a regulator that has a probe that reads your ground temp, and then will switch your heat pad on/off when needed.

This one, and this one are both recommended in the beginner's guide. I personally have the second link and haven't had any troubles so far.

My apologies! Using this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010GFADNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Actually saw it as a recommendation on this sub. The probe is suspended appx 2 mm from the carpet. I'm conflicted on whether it's too cold or not, as she spends a lot of time hanging out on top of her hide when I crank it up to 85 degrees. When I first got her years ago, before I found this sub, the fear I had read online was about burning/scalding their stomachs with UTH.

Heat gun is on the list, but I was contemplating buying a 20 gal tank first - I've been moving a lot lately, but we'll be pretty stable for the next 5 years and it's about time she had more space.

Oh okay. I got 5 of these

I have the Zoo Med Small UTH and thermostat on my 20 gal long tank 12"W x 30"L and the warm area is only about 6" around the center of the mat. I plan to add a second of the same mat next to it. I came from a 10 gal tank 10"W x 20"L and the small mat would heat about 80% of the tank to my warm temp target (too much). If I had the larger tank to start I would have gotten the med pad. If you don't have a thermostat I would definitely recommend it. I used aluminum duct tape to re-attach the pad which worked well.
