Thermometer in the incubator ?

[Stewart_Reptiles]

That is also a GREAT idea !!

My incubator is rather small, it fits up to 6 egg boxes (2 shelves and bottom) so I'm not sure I need a dummy tub. Most likely I will only use the middle of the incubator. I have 3 snakes breeding, but not sure all will take. Its my (and theirs) first try.

I guess I will test run the incubator and test temps on all levels, and also run a "test" tub ahead of time, with substrate and everything but the eggs. Try out a few levels and temps and see what happens.

So which thermometer do you all use ? I know Accurite is a favorite. Any model numbers ?

The dummy tub allows me to have something I know is stable while controlling everything else as temps will rise during incubation, and I prefer to have my T-stat probe in a rub.

As far as thermometer I use an acurite, and get a reading once every other week or so with a temp gun (from a tub with eggs) as I get clutches in or out.
