Mr. Gilmartin,

Hello and welcome, I believe very firmly that competition improves products for any field. I would be very pleased to see a reptile specific product from Calorique.

Personally and many would agree, that a lower wattage product would be high on the list. very rarely is there any need for a heating product to run at temps beyond 100ºF perhaps as high as 110º. Flexwatt will in many cases run beyond this safe limited temp. Thermostats can and do fail a product that has a lower likely hood of causing damage to the animals it provides heat to the better for everyone. The second issue that has been outstanding with the flexwatt product is the connection. The clips are large and bulky a low profile clip would be very valuable. The electrical ability of the end user is variable and a simple system is clearly needed. The other oddity of the reptile industry is the fact that a plastic object is frequently slide repeatedly over the face of the product. The reptile industry is not typical and often has been forced to adapt equipment to our needs and for my part I am very tired of this.
