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.
Hello, sorry for the frighteningly late response, haha.

Hm, as for what I would ask for an in-store thermostat? I am honestly not sure, I'd actually prefer to take other's advice on that one. The only thermostat I've ever worked with is from Vivarium Electronics and it was a bit more expensive that what most people would look into at PetsMart. I'm kind of curious as to what cheaper thermostats are recommended in the hobby!
