Does my BP have IBD or the Spider Gene?? Please help!

[Bogertophis]

I've been to several PetCo stores near me for dog supplies, and usually when I browse the reptile supplies, I do see the zilla dial-contrilled on-off thermostat, and even a Flukers brand dome lamp that has a built in dimmer (they sell both the one with and without dimmer).

I think I've seen the same Zilla thermostat at PetSnart, before, but not with the regularity I see it at PetCo... no clue why they can't reliably (or at all in many stores) at least carry a basic on/off model!

If I had to guess, it might be because they fear the cost of a QUALITY thermostat would turn off those who would buy snakes; instead, they allow them to get off to a
bad start with the reptiles they sell...are they hoping to sell them another snake when the first one gets sick? I wonder if our members who work in Petco & Petsmart
can shed any light on their store's philosophy? Anyone in the business of selling reptiles for this long HAS to be aware of their needs???
