Wow was my thermometer wrong
My probe thermometer had my basking spot showing at 134 degrees (F) and I thought that was accurate and fine.
Today I received the excellent PE-2 temp gun from Robyn and tested it out by measuring my basking platform in my Savannah Monitor enclosure.
The first time I pointed it at the platform I was shocked at the difference in readings.
The laser spot was aimed at the centre of the heated platform and the reading displayed was 149.8 (F), skeptical, I tried again and the reading was the same.
That's nearly 16 degrees
hotter than my probe thermometer was reading at the same spot.
My animals are very important to me, and this is an unacceptable margin for error to me.
So I personally give the PE-2 temp gun two thumbs up for accuracy and ease of use.
No reptile keeper should be without one.
