Also can I also ask.... When I'm taking the temp of hot end of viv, am I just shooting tbs laser into the hot end if aiming it at something. Also, when taking snake temp, should this be same temp as hot end of tank? Sorry.. This part of its all new to me!!!
So no, the snake won't be the same temp as the hot end, but I'm not familiar with what a snake's temp should be so I'll let more experienced keepers comment on that.

As far as what you're aiming at, the infrared temp guns only measure surface temp, so I would recommend spot checking throughout your enclosure, but pay special attention to the inside of your warm hide. I also like to check underneath my CHE just to make sure I don't have a hot spot on a branch or something that my snake can get to. Even though everything is controlled by thermostats, I still like to double check.
