Are there any electronic wizzards on line right now? I have a shipment of eggs coming on Thursday, and today is the first day that I've been off the couch for a while. Energy level is in the toilet, getting over the flu... Starting bator build, only to find that the only wire included with my STC 1OOO was the sensor probe. So, I am clueless what to do for the remaining 2 sets of wires. I bought this unit last summer, and assumed that all installation wires were included. Can any one help me figure out what to buy or use for hook up?

The only thing included is the temperature probe. Cords can be purchased at walmart, or possibly harvested from a broken device, IE alarm clock, dvd player, stereo, or such. You'll need 2 of those, and you will also need wire nuts and electrical tape. If you do get the cords from something broken, you want them as long as possible. That's a pretty good start, and I'm assuming you have all of the other required materials for the build already.

Well I don't know for sure but it looked like he had the right "parts" to be a male

I'm sorry I also assumed you had the 110v model. Is that the one you have?

Mine are about three or four feet. Still real skinny.

I came home from work one day, many moons ago, to find DW very concerned over a large snake heading for what was apparently a nest under the concrete pad for the power transformer. I caught just a glimpse of it, enough to know it was only a corn snake. I assured her that it was harmless & handy to have around for the rodents, but she was worried about it being so close to the house and the small kids she ran a day care center for, and insisted that it had to go.

It took a few days, but I eventually saw it again, with a portion of its midsection visible. I grabbed my compound hunting bow, which I had handy, hoping for a shot at a groundhog I'd been seeing, and took a shot at what I could see of the snake. I hit it, but it got out of sight under the pad. I saw it again a few days later, sporting the wound inflicted by the broadhead arrow it'd been shot with earlier, and it was not a happy camper at all. This time, I got a hay fork, intending to stab it through the head if I could. Mr. Snake raised up (think Cobra), keeping me in sight as I tried for position. Finally, I was able to connect; a lethal shot to the head when it tried to escape. As the snake relaxed prior to dying, I raised the fork to where the tail was just touching the ground, and the fork well over my head. I stand 5'8" (or did then

); that snake was 7' long if it was an inch!

@kwhites634 If you have a smart phone pick her up like a football with her head towards the back and take the photo if you can't get it with her loose.

1. No smart phone...not smart enough to use it if I had one
2. She's not tame enough to even think about picking up; been down that road already...it's a dead end.
