They usually have a small built in thermostat to keep them at the right temperature, but the problem is a lot of them are shoddily made, and theres no visible sign of whether its on or off, unlike a heat bulb. If the built in thermostats break they can get stuck on and get hotter and hotter, which is why theyre potentially dangerous.

we use a household thermostat 4 our tort and it works no problem, keeps the temp at 30 to 32. much cheaper but have to wire it it in.
