I told you the reason everyone keeps telling you the same thing is because it is important that you read the temps as accurately as possible. If everyone is telling you the same thing don't you get the hint that that is the best way? Why bother asking for help if you don't care what we have to say. If you keep acting like that no one will want to bother trying to help you because you apparently know it all and don't want our help. If you honestly can't spend $6 on a thermometer then you probably shouldn't have an animal in the first place.

Sadly I know that the dial ones *don't* work. I'm sorry I keep saying the same thing, but I've honestly seen one be so badly wrong that my nephew's Corn stopped eating where it had been too cold for so long.
And as the dial types have a face calibrated in 1 degree intervals that you read from and digital thermometers work to 0.1 of a degree on their readouts, I'm afraid there's no way the two could have been "exactly" the same when demonstrated in the shop.

I wouldn't trust a pet store worker to know everything. Most people here are speaking from experience. We actually use both a digital thermometer and an inferred thermometer

I used to do that also till my temp gun died I have to get a new one this weekend. It just help to check and make sure the digital thermometers are working.
Also I am a pet store employee and have been for 3 years and I have to say the majority of petstore employees especially big chain stores like petsmart/petco do not know to much about reptiles or the products they sell. I have a lot of reptiles and have tried most of the products we sell at my store and I know what works and what doesn't, so from personal experience and experience of customers that have had issues and from others on here it's best to use the probe thermometers.

I'll approach this a little different, without pics how can we rate your viv? What kind of bedding are you using? How many hides do you have? Size of water bowl, where is the bowl in conjunction with the light? What size is the viv? How much does your snake weight, what size mice are you feeding?

My husband works for a mom and pop pet store, he loves it. But yes most employee's at big chains don't know much. We do have several members that work at them and do know but they are rare.
We also have leopard geckos, gargoyle geckos and bearded dragons which require different things as well. They each have a digital thermometer.
