    It is a very good thermostat. I don't use it personally, but it is a good product and I know many people who have been using them for years with no problems.

    Another comparable thermostat would be the herpstat. I think that one is a little more popular than then helix.

    nd stands for night drop. It allows you to program it to lower the temperature at night.

    nope :) Some people will use it during breeding season, but even then it is not necessary.

    The standard Herpstat is so well known in the Chondro community that most of us use them on our incubators. I've got mine tuned in nicely that there is only a .2 degree swing.
