Can someone tell me what kind of thermometerthe brinsia octagon 20 comes with and a pic would be nice to most ppl say a glass one but on vids i see a digital one on top of it. Ty


The Eco comes with the glass thermometer and the regular 20 has a digital reading. I don't use the glass one at all. Take care


So if i want a digital reading i buy the octagon20 not the octagon 20 eco

I have never had any problems with the 3 Eco20's straight out of the box. They never needed any adjustments. Good luck.

When I use them for the first time, I throw my accurite digital thermometer in a fake egg made out of a plastic bag to check the temp. So far so good. I leave the glass one in the incubator so I don't lose it. I only add water on day 1 and 18. These steps work for me, not the law. Take care.
