I'm talking the $30-something analog thermostats sold for herp husbandry. Big Apple, LLL, Herpsupplies.com, Creative Pet Supply, etc etc all have them.
These analog thermostats have a receptacle to plug in a heating device. You get an extension cord, wire a rotary or other dimmer of your choice in-line with the HOT wire of the cord (the wire going to the narrow spade of the plug), plug that into the output receptacle of the thermostat, and plug your heaters into the extension cord receptacles. If you are unfamiliar with wiring, get an electrician to help. You should use a utility box to house the dimmer and wire connections for safety.
