[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1898516, member: 31715"] Exactly! I guess that was my one real suggestion for anyone giving advice. Just like we ask for type of uvb, and type of thermometer, I feel we should also ask for the basking material if the OP states they use an IR gun. [size=7][b]1000% AGREE[/b][/size] Thats exactly why I started this, and stated it's not to be expected that everyone with an IR gun learn these things! It's just not necessary. If we ask for their surface material, there is nothing complicated about that IMO. And there is no real reason to comment on why we want to know that unless they ask. And if they do, a brief explanation such as "certain materials read different than others" would suffice unless they really wanted to learn more! But, simple advice is the best IMO. Which is why I personally think that a digital with probe is best for the average hobbyist. Less things to be confused about. Another good point (although I don't know if you were trying to make this point lol) but they are cheaper. If someone comes in here broke after buying one of those kits, and only has dial thermometers, it's good form IMO to recommend the digital with probe also from a cost standpoint, as opposed to the temp guns. And to be clear, I use both devices. And I love both. I just think for someone new to the hobby, and even for the average hobbyist who has learned much about proper husbandry, the IR guns just don't provide much benefit over probes besides quick readings. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
