    I have 2 temp guns, 1 digital thermometer with a probe, an analog thermometer in each enclosure and a clock on the wall with a thermometer built into it. If I could only keep one of these it would be the temp gun.

    Only reason I use a thermometer is because I've yet to fork over the cash for a gun. When I can get one I will.

    I wanted to add something i posted on another thread here. The reason i use both. I use an acu-rite unit in each rack so i know my tstats are doing the job, i use the temp guns to take core temps of the animal's, what i mean is when an animal moves from the cool side to the warm side, or vice versa, i take note and take its core temp. I may be a little anal, but i like to know what the animals temp is, as well as the environments temperature.

    I'd likely prefer a temp gun, but i have digital thermometers from my fish tanks and I'm using those for now.

    I currently use digital thermometers and I would like to get a temp gun. I have a quick question, what do I look for in a temp gun? I was thinking of a laser version so I could see where the gun is reading from. Any suggestions or recommendations?

    I use both. The digitals get reading in each tub that I can look over at a glance, and the gun is for pew-pew double checking as well as other things. It's also been used to check the temp of about everything else in the house. :D
