Is low bator temps better than high temps????

[epitman2]

I have a homemade bator my temps are ranging from 94.6 to 102.2 is this ok cause I have adjusted and moved the thermostat around and this is the best it will do.

You really need to try and steady it more, before attempting an incubation. Some may hatch, but you're hatch rate will probably be really low.

I wouldn't think so, way to low, if you are using a water heater thermostat place it about 1 inch away from the light bulb with the metal side facing the bulb, this will solve your problem.

The temperature will fluctuate less if you move the water temperature controller closer to the light source.

Installing the thermostat to about 1" from the bulb did it for my homemade.
