Ambient Temperature not stable. Using Thermal Blanket to make temperature more stable

[utomo]

Stable temperature are good for Incubation. but not all incubator have good insulation
How about using Thermal Blanket to cover the Incubator to make the temperature more stable. and only open when needed ?

and which type is better for this purpose ?
55% Cotton / 45% Polyester which still can breathe or the ones like this ?

@MGG I know you've also done this sorry about all the tags! Lol. What do you think?

Not a bad ideal, just don't cover the vent holes. An old blanket would suffice.

Thank you

Welcome to BYC! I wouldn't reccomemd it, because it will block off the much needed ventilation.

Thank you. Yes of course we need to make the ventilation hole.

If we can keep the ventilation system working what is your opinion ?

If you can keep the ventilation open, maybe...but I would just go with a regular blanket. The heated one could push the internal incubator temp up too high.

Thank you. so nobody try this yet

A heated blanket or a mylar blanket?

One that uses electricity would be inefficient at keeping the internals of an insulated space heated.

No. not heated blanket.
But Thermal blanket which can guard the temperature better than normal blanket
