I'm confused on which thermomter to use. I have a temp gun and a thermomter for reptiles I picked up at the pet shop. Right now I got the temps setup for the temp gun. But some people at this forum told me to use both which is impossible to do because if I use the thermometer to adjust the temperature the temp gun is going to read the temperature too high (hot spots of up to 120 with the temp gun) and if I use the temp gun to adjust the temperature the thermometer is going to read the temperature too low, 77 cool side and 80 hot side with the thermometer, 78-82 cool side and 88-95 hot side with the temp gun. Please help me and tell me how which on to use to properly read the temps.

Thanks, Juan
