They're one of the best.. I enjoyed The use of a Temp gun, but I prefer a probe thermometer.. more constant.. and temp guns are kind of tricky to read the right temperature in the right place..
Probe Thermos will only run $8 at a reptile show for a decent one.
Tempguns are more often used when you don't want to get inside the enclosure you're reading.. say you have a Venemoid.. Some people swear by the things.. I could take it or leave it, but If I had a more extensive collection I can imagine it being a certain must just for the convenience

I have a Motokota for $25. You can read the temperature gradient with one sweep and it will give you an accurate reading on all surfaces. Wouldn't have another reptile without having one.
