Temp guns are great, but they are not any type of replacement for a thermostat.Originally Posted by reptilecatlady
I bought a temp gun. It's coming on Tuesday. Thanks for the heads up about Cypress. Once it dries out I don't mind misting.

Reptile Basics makes under tank heat pads that are superior to Zoo-Med.
Get your thermostat probe placed on the outside of the enclosure between the bottom of it and the UTH. That is your hot spot.
As for the light if you are going that route, buy an infrared flood bulb. It is not as bright and disturbing to the snake, and it will be much easier for you to sleep in a room with it on.
The bulb needs to be hooked to a quality stat and that probe should go in the cage just an inch or so off the floor on the cool side or at least closer to it.
A good stat will dim that bulb to almost nothing when temps are right.
I'll make it easy.
