: Wanted to add....Im wondering that if ZooMed were to remove the pic of the "scrawny" ig..and remove any connotation of the iguana and heat rock connection ...if that would be a step in a postive direction. As it is even their "heat pads" those little plastic pads that stick to the bottoms of tanks have a big picture of an iguana embellished on them.Maybe they need to choose another mascot(?) If they would remove those pics maybe pet shops and your average joe won't associate the two(iguanas & hot rocks). I think maybe going after the advertising instead of the hot rock itself might make a difference...what do you think?

Hi, Gina (and others interested.) In my letter to them, I said that I wasn't asking them to stop selling hot rocks, but suggested that they remove the iguana from the hot rock in the ad, and add a warning that hot rocks are not appropriate for iguanas and why. The hot rocks are not the issue, the iguana using the hot rock is. :)
