[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1898512, member: 76248"] I think the key part of what you're saying is to find out what their basking surface is made of. A lot of the items people use are close enough to get a decent reading in the ballpark. I've always had pretty good luck using a cheap temp gun without worrying much about emissivity. If someone comes in and has some really wacky sounding surface readings then it would be good to dig in a little further and try to help calculate adjustments for them, but most people aren't able to or not willing to fuss with that sort of thing so simplified advice is a good route to take in order to prevent confusion. I've been recommending using two probes lately. One for the basking surface and one for the cool end. I do this because since getting my herpstat I've found it helpful to glance at the display and see my gradient right away and not have to move probes around. I am able to secure the probes too which is helpful (rubber band around the basking log at the moment). Given the relatively low cost it's not much of an ask. Tight budgets are also something to consider when giving advice and is often worth asking about (and then calculating the best route with the given budget). [/QUOTE]
