I understand though. Sometimes(always) it's hard for females to admit when they are wrong.;)


ps. Notice the wink.:P:)

You are an evil little man :P;):D:rofl:
...and I am still wondering how she measures her temps... :rolleyes:
Me? I use a temp gun!!! On the racks and cages from RBI Rich makes a point in saying that they ought to be used. When his Eminence speaks, I listen :rofl:

This thread is a perfect example why the larger breeders don’t post on Forums unless they are showing off there newest creations. Here Kara (from N.E.R.D. in case anyone doesn’t know who she is), comes on the Forum and posts a very informative and intelligent piece of Husbandry information and some people decide to challenge it. If you are too cheap to spend $20.00 or so on a Temp Gun to make sure the Temperature in your enclosures are right just keep it to yourself. Let the other people here learn something. By the way, I have three of them. The original one is a Raytek that is now in the drawer right next to the stove. Like other people that have posted it is great for making sure my sauté pan is hot enough to correctly sear Scallops or a piece of Meat to lock in the juices. You know what, just thinking about that makes me hungry. Off to the kitchen!:D

I always stay strapped with my PE-1 temp gun fo' real!

Temp guns are one of the best tools for keeping herps.

A temp gun is one of the several tools any serious herper should have. If your animals aren't worth $25 than you obviously aren't that serious about herpin:snake:

Actually I think it's more that large breeders have their own site and don't have the time to deal with all the newbie questions they get as it is.

Hey Kara, I think Albey's in love.:)

Hey Neil, I think you're right!!! Albey IS in love with those amazing glow-in-the-dark orange Leopard Geckos he produces. Those are some of the best EVER! If I had leopard geckos that looked like that, I'd be in love with them too!

Good stuff!!!!! :D :D

got my temp gun it costs almost as much as some morphs though I have a cheapo harbor frieght one also its way off though. I will stick to my snap on temp gun I payed for accuracy. :D. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item....re&dir=catalog

Sorry to jump in the middle of this, but I agree with Kara that for herps you should have a temp gun. The main reason is that surface temps and ambient temps are two completely different things. What if you are in a room with ambient temps the in low 70's, and you are setting your heat strips to maintain ambient temps of 92 high and 82 cool. Well you are probably pushing suface temps above 100 to heat the air space in the tub. One of the features of most temp guns is a scan that lets you cover the entire surface of your tub and will report the highest temp, its a great way to check for "hot" spots. On the other hand if you are just doing surface checks with a temp gun (or your thermostat probe), you may be running ambient temps too low.
