Thank you everyone for the advice! I think for starting out a herpstat 1 would work perfectly for me. Since you can only plug one probe into it where would the best placement be for my probe? Also could one of these (or even better a herpstat 2 to add humidity control) work for homemade incubator? (I'm currently going to be making one out of a wine cooler fridge I found on craigslist).
