ya the petstores here dont carry that i have checked and the closest thing they have is the digi thermometers. I looked up ranco at the big harware stores already, i think that may only be a US sold product, ill check the johnson controls right away.
I am very frustarted now since I am getting so many mixed messages for advise and I am using a couple of forums. On another forum I was told that the model hovabator i have has a built in thermostat and that the guy was incubating corn eggs no prob with that alone. but here im told i need the herpsatat. Another forum i was told to go to the hardware store, did that. Argh!!!

i will call a couple of the small mom and pop pet stores tomorow for that repti temp but i doubt they will have it if the big chain stores dont. Otherwise i guess ill be spending alot of time at home for a while and checking the temp every few hours and adjusting the thermostat on the incubator if needed.
