Hi Gordon, you can get a simple thermostat from any decent pet shop that sells reptile-related stuff, and all you need to do is plug the heat-mat cord into the thermostat, and the themostat into the mains - the thermostat, if it's a "probe" type (and they're the simplest to use) is simply a circuit-breaker between the mains and the heat source, and is temperature activated. You won't have to do any special wiring.
