UTH and belly burns

[Eric Alan]

Maybe if we sent a letter to Petsmart or another corporate pet business, they'd include some into their inventory. It would have to be a convincing letter or we'd have to buy a ton upfront.

Exactly which thermostat or thermostats would you be petitioning for them to carry? One similar in quality to a Hydrofarm that many people say is too unsafe or one similar in quality to a Herpstat that many people say is too expensive? Just curious.

Also, here's a screenshot I just took of their website. Notice the first item that comes up when you go to the "Menu - Reptiles - Supplies - Humidity & Temperature Controls" page:


That particular one says it's online only. But, as Pit said, they do have at least one other one in some of their stores. It's not like they're clueless.

Thermostats are just a tough sell to the mass market - despite their importance. Unless the heat pad companies start recommending them in an obvious way on their packaging (and I don't see that happening), first time reptile owners will view them as just another added expense to their growing receipt total.
