So a few months ago a privately owned pet store was having a moving sale and other than the usual supplies that we picked up at a super discount they also had a Reptibator. It was super cheap so I figured I'd buy it. We're planning to breed one clutch this season and I had a thought...

Could I attach a proportional thermostat to the Reptibator as a way of bypassing its thermostat that (after having two Zilla/Zoomed/whatever thermostats fail within a week) I don't trust?
