Accurate temp readings?

[whudson]

I built a bator and I'm test-running it now.

I'm getting a constant 99 to 102 from my accurite that is sitting in the far corner (away from the light)

My Steridyne in the water wiggly is giving a constant 90.

Should there be that much variation between the two?

I do have a fan circulating air.

How long has it been running? Give it a day to stabilize. It may take a while for the water thing to come up to the temperature of everything else.
