The way I understand it the water wiggler is used to simulate measuring the temp inside of an egg and the inside of an egg should be 99.5F during incubation. The "air temperature" at the top of the eggs in a still-air incubator should be 102F, it should not be that high inside of the egg.
Just in case there's a misunderstanding about the probe on your unit... The "temp/humidity probe" is only a temperature probe...it does not measure humidity....the hygrometer is contained within the case of the unit itself and thus has to be inside the incubator to read the humidity.
Also, it's recommended to compare the digital therm/hygro unit with a known accurate thermometer (maybe a medical thermometer like used to check for fevers with). The hygro part of the unit should be checked using the "wet salt method".
