Great. I think starting a new thread for each topic will be easier to follow and reference than one long one. So I'll start a new one for each topic we cover.
So here is what we have so far. Gloves can be used for:
<ol>
<li>Confidence in handling
<li>Lessening bite damage
<li>Removing hot light bulbs
<li>Protection from scratches (probably most useful)
<li>Moving cage furniture
</ol>
Some people say that handling large monitors with gloves is cumbersome. I would say the same is true for <i>small</i> monitors since you'll have a harder time feeling them. Better yet, use a thinner set of gloves for the small monitors to increase your feel.
Other methods may prove more reliable for bigger monitors.
A side note about gloves and light bulbs. For people who use those pet store bulbs i.e. special UV bulbs, it should be noted that when you handle them with your bare hands you leave oil from your skin on them. This lessens the life of the bulb significantly. Just a word of caution.
The next item on the list is <b>Temperature Guns</b>. It think it would only make sense to cover <b>thermometers</b> (all types) in this section too.
I'll get it started by saying that knowing your basking surface temps is an important part of husbandry. We might disagree when it comes to what baksing temps are needed/used but that discussion is not the intention of the thread.
Lets go.
