Hi, I'm wanting to invest in an infrared thermometer gun. As I've heard they are the best way to gauge your Temps in your enclosure. Before I drop $100+ on one, what brand would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advanced.

Depends on how accurate you want it. I have a ryobi and a cheep off brand one. Less expencive ones have a lower "d:s" ratio meaning you have to hold them close for accuracy (my $10 one has a ratio of 1:1, my ryobi is better at 12:1 I think), have a wider tolerance (+ or - so many degrees) and a narrower effective range (my cheep one only goes up to 120F).

You can get a good one for 20-40$

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
