Interesting topic.
What is the new word on heat rocks? Would those under tank heat pad/mats be just as bad?
I think one of the problems is that some of these products are just fine, or even perfect for other applications with other animals, but in a broad store like petco or petsmart, it's a short 1-isle "reptile section" and how many people that work at those stores own a tortoise?
Ultimately, it's our own responsibility to do our research, and if there are hit and miss problems with one product, I'm going to choose the one that doesn't hold that stigma.
