Two thermometers.. two different readings!

[Jessica89]

Hi everyone,
So after a failed hatch last time ( temp shot up to 40C)
I decided to buy a digital thermometer .. just so its easier for me to read as I have a visual impairment.

I have both the thermometers in the incubator (mercury and digital) and the mercury one is reading 36C and the digital one is reading 39C.

I dont have a clue which one I should go with?

Digital thermometers are notoriously inaccurate. I pitched all of mine and went with an analog that I had calibrated and trusted to be accurate.

ok thank you!

I will go with the one that is in the incubator then.
