I should say - the cheapest ($25) is made by Pro Exotics. You can buy a more expensive Raytek one for between $65 and $85 at auto parts stores (people use them to check engine temperatures). The $25 one does not have a laser target like the more expensive ones do, and you have to put it within an inch or so of the spot you want to check. I like it though.

Interesting Lauren. I paid $25 for mine from eBay and it has the laser on it. I have tested temps at 1 inch and at closer to 18 inches without any real variation. I believe my is a PE-2.

Way to make Lauren feel bad Griz! Haha, im just kidding. I didn't understand what you are saying there, you can measure temp at 18"?

Also, wouldn't the air in the cage be a different temp from the walls or floor? Isn't the air temp just as important as the floor??

To help me understand, what temp should the air be in a cornsnake cage (not the hotspot)? the floor? snake body temp?

About those infrared guns: how, since some of you guys don't use thermometers because of these guns, do you measure humidity?

You can get a humidity gauge seperate or you can use one with a thmrometer just as a backup.

Are there any brands that you prefer, brands you feel better putting your trust in?

I like the flukers digital, they seem to be pretty accurate and have a good size display..

I like the Acurite Brand mentioned earlier. They offer a unit that gives you two air temps and the humidity all at the same time in the same unit for around $12. Best thing it is is local and you don't have to pay for or wait for shipping. (They are pretty tough too, I've had them fall(get drug into) water bowls and they still work great.) And that is not in the place of a thermostat that is supplemental to a thermostat.

Aww, Griz! I'm jealous. But mine's a PE-1, bought new at a reptile show, so full retail price. I'm sure eBay does have better deals (that's usually the way I buy things) - but had to get SOMETHING at that show since I had a couple of new "friends" to monitor on the way home. No fancy lazzzzers for me yet.
