If you follow MissPrissy instructions you will be fine. I use one of the cheap $6 reptile dial hygrometer and thermometer in my hova 1588. Plus I have the $8 acurite one from walmart that works perfect. You don't have to spend a lot of money on stuff look and ask around you may find the stuff for free.

If you are worried about your ability to wire correctly, then you probably shouldn't do it.

Most designs I have seen on here pose little fire hazard. Remember, the Hova and LG are heaters in styrofoam, and they don't catch fire.

Electrocution is a matter of being sensible, and applying your knowledge. If you don't have the knowledge, get help.
