    Husbandry items

    I was wondering where you guys purchase some of youproducts from. I'm looking for one of those temperature guns and a digital scale. The people that use paper for there substrate where do you get it from? Lately I have been grabbing a few of those free papers that are at businesses lol. Thanks for any input you can give me.

    Temp guns can be found online, or at Lowe's/Home Depot...for a digital scale just get one from Wal Mart or Target...they're in the kitchen section.

    For substrate I just use newspaper. You can also use craft paper that you can find at Staples or craft stores...and can probably find online...

    I bought a Pet Exotic 2 heat gun off Ebay it was $35 delivered to my front door.

    If you have a local newspaper that is printed where you live, they'll have the ends of rolls of newspaper quality paper. Once the roll gets so small they change it for a new one.. I picked some up to practice air brushing on.. It was free and had a at least a few hundred feet left on it.. 32 inches wide

    I picked up my digital scale at wal-mart. Temp guns are pretty easy to find on ebay or amazon. I had one from work but i see them as "users also purchased" items when ever im on amazon.

    Uline has accurate scales and paper products in every shape and kind. Temps guns are all about the same just look at the DS ratio if you deal with Royals you likely need a 1:1 or 6:1 any farther is likely more of a pain than it is worth. I would suggest looking for one that takes regular common batteries... AA AAA 9v. I had one that took a V625px battery... I can special order it... I would avoid any that does not take an off the shelf battery or takes an expensive one. (2 x 8$ battery adds up...)

    Just bought a digital scale up to 11 pounds and a laser temp gun. With my discover points it was only 13 bucks with free shipping. Would have been $50 that's a deal in my book lol.
