Temp gun
Well, I think it is time that I purchase a temp gun but I have no clue where to start. What kind do you use/recommend?

This is funny and I had to post it. Check out the third review.

Funny how we all have our funny little quirks that require the unintended use of tools for!

I have been using the fluke 62 temp gun for years and it has worked great. There are tons of them out there and you will probably get good results out of most of them. I know their are some smaller ones that are around 25 bucks at any of the big reptile supply places and i hear they work great.

Another option, this one from Home Depot.

Working great for me. Seems to be very accurate, and can't beat the $29.99 price tag.

Generally they are all very similar calibrated for a medium reflective surface and usually with in 2 degrees accuracy.
CHECK THE SPECS before you buy some are 4 degrees up or down and you can get better than that for not too much $$.
If you want better accuracy, look at a science supply but sit down when you do. I just plan that it can be 2 degrees from what you measure. (I use 81 low and 90 high which even 2 degrees [79-83 and 88-92] up or down is still ok)
