They still make them because when someone is first looking into reptiles they see it and think " well reptiles sit on rocks in the wild for heat. Lets get it because its like real life" They get it and their reptile gets burned. I dont know if the rocks are getting any better but i personally only use heat lights.

I guess it seemed like a good idea at first, I have an idiot friend who bought one because he liked how it looked, he didnt even know it was a heat rock, so I guess they still make them because idiots buy them.....ha.

I think they are a lot better than they used to be

You can also put them on a thermostat so people tend to flip out about them when they really aren’t the worst thing in the world

Any unregulated heat can cause a huge problem

I heard a story on Retpile Radio I think it might have been ol Caly Daveport to say one of water bowls turned over in the cage and he had a heat rock in there and when he went to pick the snake up he got shocked. He tought the snake was getting shocked all day.
Anyways don’t know if they are good or bad I don’t use them. I can tell you why they still make them
