Pro Exotics
Temperature Gun
Infrared
Reviewed by:

We received a test unit from Pro Exotics in August of this year and have tested it in a variety of environments and applications.

This unit is built in a small, sturdy ABS plastic case, that is very tough, and is about the size of a car alarm remote. It has a large LCD readout for its size, and single button operation.

This unit is excellent for determining hot or cold spots in your animals environment, whether they be dog, reptile, or fish. Using an infrared beam that is safe to use around pets, we were able to use it to measure hot spots in our lizard, snake and bird cages, as well as taking the water temperature of change water for our aquariums.

The unit does require that it be directed at the item or location to be tested for several seconds before the temperature can be measured accurately. Additionaly, this unit is not designed or intended for use on animals themselves, and will not read their core temperatures accurately.

Our test unit came with a carrying case, battery, keychain adapter, and a brief user manual.

Our biggest problem with this unit is one of size. We don't have it attached to a keyring and as such being so small the unit seems to "wander" around
the office, being hard to locate when needed.

CONS:
Small, Not Instantaneous, Not for Use Directly on/in Animals
