It’s not a whole lot different than selling a UTH without a thermostat. I saw a so called “snake habitat” at the pet store where I buy my mice (it’s the same kit they probably sell at pet stores everywhere made by a big name company). I looked at it’s contents and it had a UTH but no thermostat or way to control the heat they put out. And those things get pretty hot without a thermostat. I know people SHOULD do a lot of research before buying a live animal, but I’m guessing a lot don’t.
