Don't know if eBay links are allowed here, and not trying to annoy the site's sponsors, but if you're after an IR Temp Gun, go to eBay Australia and search
HI-TECH NON-CONTACT IR INFRARED DIGITAL THERMOMETER GUN
It took me 3 days, but I finally scored 1 for $40.00 + $10.00 shipping.
Enjoy!

I got a new digitech model from ebay. Its the same as the Herpshop sells only it measures from -50 to 500 degrees.
PS,
The cheaper HI-TECH guns that you are talking about have a -+ 4 degree accuracy.

I've had one of those cheap ones for a while now and it seems alright to me, not the same quality as a $150+ one but what do you expect, it still does the job.
J&C_R, I'll have to do some more tests check its accuracy, it seemed about right but I didn't check it too thoroughly.

| According to this products www this gun has "[ Between -1 to 200˚C : ±2˚C]"
For $50, in an amatuers herp room, you can't go wrong. You can learn alot about temps of your reptiles with one of these.
I understand that if you want to test temps for incubation etc you would use something a little more accurate. I actually use a professional Cheif's Temp rod. It is a long stainless steel rod , approx 15cm (like a kebab stick) with a thermometer at the end. It was $20 from a hospitality supplier.

I was a pastry chef so I have about 5 more accurate ones I picked up here and there but for a quick check of various positions around the cage nothing beats the guns I reckon.
Edit: Glimmerman, from memory I think you're right about the gun's specifications unless they're talking about another one.
