And I am not arguing that a temp gun is a great tool to have, but a digital thermometer with a probe is fine for measuring hot spot temps as long as the probe is properly placed. I'm just simply stating that it seems that every one of this OP's threads I have read or posted in seem to be new snake keeper type of questions, and are usually met by the community with a response of "Get rid of those, they're crap. You need go buy this..." And the OP has taken the suggested advice in purchasing digital thermometers and a means to regulate the UTH. Now, the OP starts another thread that looks to me to be another case of new keeper uneasiness because her snake just ate and didn't go into the warm side hide as she expected it would. I then see responses immediately telling the OP that her equipment may not be good enough, and to go upgrade this or that. But what I failed to see was someone suggesting that the "issue" may not be a problem at all, and that what she is experiencing is very likely normal behavior. I see that all too often with new keepers looking for someone to set their minds at ease, but they're met with someone from the forum telling them that their enclosure isn't good enough for one reason or another...
