2014 Pastel het..

[Albert Clark]

Hindsight is 20/20.. but I do know my Herpstat has both high and low temp alarms as well as high and low humidity alarms. You might want to consider an investment in equipment with alarm capability (or enabling the capability if its not already in use). I can appreciate that they are costly, but it would be reasonable to use for "higher risk/higher reward" activities like incubating..

Thanks Dt, I appreciate the sentiments but I am using the ZooMed reptibator as the incubator and this machine has a built in proportional thermostat. All my racks and quarantine tubs are on herpstats. I have 5 of them. The reptibator has a alarm setting but it wouldn't have triggered because the problem was in the tub that housed 6 eggs and wasn't the incubator malfunctioning as far as I can tell. The tub that was adjacent to the problem tub was sitting at 87.6f in the incubator. The way I found out about the high temp was when I looked at the thermometer. I had positioned the thermometer probe in between the space at the base of the clutch.
