    I have found I use my temp gun more for rodents than housing.

    I end up using my Temp Gun every time I am going to feed to see what temperature the rodent is (I feed f/t). Where as I already have my tub temperatures fairly solid, and don't really need to check them all the time. Does anyone else do this?

    I use my Temp Gun about 40 times a day for all kinds of things.

    i make it a habit of checking surface temps daily even if i have my thermal regulation spot on. things fail.

    I use mine every day for checking temps, but I find that my friends use it more for measuring the temps of everything they can possibly think of.
    That is a good idea though, measuring the temp of F/T food. I should give that a try.

    I randomly measure temps of everything. my GF's butt is as cold as it feels in bed when she warms it up on my back

    Hahahaha, nice. You know your picture kind of looks like you are holding a ferret/cat as if you are about to use it to light your cig.
