Very active Ball Python????

Are they only available online, or would I be able to find one at a local pet store? If so I'll get one today. And also, is there a specific brand/thermometer you prefer over the rest?

Try your local hardware store, I got ours at Home Depot, IIRC in the tool corral. You may find them at pet or kitchen stores, but probably for more than at a hardware store.

Reptile Basics has a nice article about temp guns and what to look for:

The key is to look at what the temperature/error range is and the effective distance - so one that is (pulling numbers out of the air!) +/- 2 degrees is better than one that's +/- 10 degrees; and one with a useful range of only 4-6" away is less useful than one with a range of 6-36".

And remember that if you try using one through glass/clear plastic you'll be getting the temperature of the side nearest to you.
