I need incubator thermostat help

[peepswiththepoof]

Oh, bummer. I wonder if there is anything else that you can do?

In one of my homemade incubators, I use a ReptiTemp 500r and in the other I use a water heater thermostat. The water heater thermostat does the job for me personally, but if you want to be extra precise then I highly recommend the ReptiTemp 500r over the wafer thermostat.

hey I appreciate the tip but I keep getting 100% hatches with the wafer type in both my hovabator and a coupla homemade incys. I have done equally as well using a johnson controls electronic type t-stat. I tweaked one WH type t-stat to where it worked well but for the effort I expended I am money ahead with the wafer.

WOW, that's an awesome hatch rate! Totally understand why you recommend the wafer then!

I went ahead and ordered the reptitemp tstat. I figured I might as well try it, darn Amazon 2 day shipping. For those who use it, is it better to put the sensor near the light bulbs or in where the eggs go? Thanks.

I put the sensor inside of a water wiggler with the sensor for the thermometer!
