Re: Pro Exotics PE-2 Temp gun review
Yes, the side of the bulb, even the edge, is a lot cooler than the face.
The problem with bulb "guards" is that they produce exactly the OPPOSITE effect intended.
I have seen plenty of lizards severely burned in cages with bulb guards or bulb cages. That is because the lizards can't resist grabbing the cage and hanging on, right next to the bulb. Even worse are the few times I have seen lizards get caught INSIDE those dopey cages, literally cooked to death.
I have never had a lizard get a bulb burn using openly hanging bulbs.
In the mid-90s, when we got our first temp gun, it completely revolutionized the way we kept lizard species, and our success with them.

Maybe so, but Anna Savannah kept yanking Dan's wiring out.
That picture illustrates why keepers should not use hoods and guards inside monitor enclosures.

Anna Savanna used to belong to a young man I knew who went off to college, she has been rehomed, along with Lyle Nile.
It's a pity, he was taking fairly good care of them, but his parents refused to take care of his 2 monitors while he was away to university.
He sent me pictures of both animals back when he was on my forum.
