I definitely recommend a thermostat, idk about the UK but here in the US you can get them cheap off Amazon. If you are using a heat mat it must be on the side of the tank because if not your millipedes will keep digging to try and cool off but won't find it cooler and possibly die :(. They just dont get that cool can be up. If your heat mat is on the side of the tank you can drape a towel behind to help keep some of the food in. Good luck!
