Check out our site, and our Temp Gun FAQ, for more details on Temp Gun use, emissivity, and reptile applications.



Temp Guns measure reflected surface temp. Air has no reflection, so they don't do air temps. But Temp Guns, at least Pro Exotics Temp Guns : ) will be accurate to a tenth of a degree.



I suggest using a digital min/max thermo for air temps, and especially for checking overnight lows, and Temp Guns for surface temps, like basking spots and hot spots.
