Awesome bator!!!!!! I have one just about like it hey I hatched 7 out with a 25 watt bulb and this next time Im going to use a 40 watt black light just for laughs

I love the turner idea

Just a tip for the turner.

I made a stacking one, but no screws. I used colored pull ties. They hole great and easy to adjust and tighten.

Is you thermostat close enough to the bulb? I only see them separate, so that's why I'm asking.

If you place them close together, have that space like I see you do and you'll probably not get more than .5 fluctuation either way.

 

[wolftracks]

Never mind. No fluctuation? Good job!!!

 

[quintinp]

yep im really happy

 

[gumbii]

are you sure no fluctuation...? when i started mine with a water heater thermostat, it held good temps for a while... but when i let it run over night, the next morning it was at 106°F...

yes, it is one of those spring field thermometers from walmart, it shows the readings for how high and low the temp has gotten since the last time it has been checked
