I purchased this thermometer a few months ago to measure water temperature when doing water changes for my aquariums. I am now setting up a gecko enclosure and thought the thermometer would be great for measuring the temperature of the ceramic tile over the uth. I get different readings on the thermometer depending on how far away I hold it from the tile, which makes sense. My question is how far away from the tile should I be holding to get an accurate temperature? I hate to have to buy a new thermometer with a sensor that sticks to the tile, but I just don't know how accurate the IR thermometer is! Can anyone answer my question? Thanks.
