If you were to put the probe on the flexwatt you would get a very accurate temp on the flexwatt but not the air. Also try to setup the fans so they work togeather to move the air around. like you are trying to push air around an oval track if that makes any sense.

    Got it

    Thanks!Mike

    well,,that makes sense,and actually,takes away air space,am sure it does save a degree or 2 when the door is open,,,smart man:),howd the probe/thermo change work out so far?

    another decent idea,,does your thermometer have a min/max memory?,reset that,and check it in 2 days

    this is my home made incubator.
    I used an old refrigerator ( without engine ) and I've built with microclimate hot source , microclimate proportional thermostat and 2 fan inside.
    A light and 2 webcam to see when snakes come out eggs!
    That's perfect because the temperature doesn't move of 0,1 C°:)
    I have 31,9 C° constant.
    PERFECT!
    Now I have 4 eggs of spider inside , 120 grams each egg.

    see the photos
