Well, the bator worked fine for 65 days, the temp was stable at 86 - 87, then it suddenly went to 110. It could be my fault, but no human error was evident that time.
Re: Using a hovabator with a thermostat?
No, it was the wafer thermostat which was faulty, not the Hovabator. These wafer thermostats are recommended BY THE MANUFACTURER to be replaced yearly. Keep that in mind. Push its limits at the peril of your eggs.
I have used a Hovabator with the wafer thermostat to incubate bally python eggs. It worked perfectly well, but I had to fiddle with the thermostat almost constantly to keep the temperatures stable as room temperatures fluctuated. As a result, I cannot recommend it.
The Hovabator with a good proportional thermostat hooked up to it has proven to be incredibly stable and extremely reliable.
