That's a temp gun, "laser" thermometer is sort of misleading, as it uses infrared for the temperature reading and the laser is only used for a targeting spot so you know where you are measuring.

I don't think people use them to measure the snake itself, but to check temps at various spots within the vivarium.

try tempgun.com

I just got this one, which unfortunately doesn't have a laser, but it's still a cool toy, although in reviews they say it goes through batteries fast.

But it was $17 on woot.com

It can measure the temp of thawed mice!

I got a nice deal on a tempgun.com PE2 which has a laser and takes better more accurate readings than the lower models. Unfortunately it is an older unit and uses expensive watch batteries rather than cheap easy to find (and recharge) AAA batteries like the new version of the PE2.

As Nanci says, a nice toy, useful at times but it doesn't replace a good digital thermometer with a probe permanently mounted in the right spot.

And mine does seem to run through batteries ridiculously fast, but that might be due to the bad older design. if I leave it laying button down, the button is pressed constantly and drains the battery. Or if something, even very light, is on top of it, same thing. I am discovering that the deal, while still decent, wasn't as great a deal as I thought . =)

FWIW I got it for $19 shipped, it goes for $45 plus shipping for a new one.
