Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

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 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.
