Do I need a Terranium Liner?

That looks nice, much nicer than the one I currently have. I'm curious, does that one shut off the heat mat when it reaches the temp you have it set at and then turn it back on when it goes down to a certain point, or does it just control the power to keep it at that? My current one does the former, on top of that, the temp probe is huge, that one looks much sleeker and easier to move around and use.

I have some of those thermostats myself, and they basically heat until they are a degree or two above the set temperature, then turn off until the temperature falls to two degrees below the set temperature before turning on again.

It will shut off when the set temp. is reached then turn back on when it dropped 3 degrees below the set temp.

What guidofatherof5 said, my statement was more a guess based on observation as I don't have the packaging specifics anymore. I definately recommend these thermostats though, as they are much cheaper than reptile-specific ones, work about as well, and the first one I got has been used continuously for almost a year now without any issues.
