Cool
I cant remeber did you get the Herp1 or 2? Ive never needed a fuse change. Where is it inside? I remember tttaylorrr having a problem but im not sure if that ended up a fuse or not. She bought it used & it wasnt working & she was going to call Spyder...

I got the Herpstat 2 .It's running a freestanding tub and my Rack. Plan was the Tub and the incubator. But this works, too

I bought extra fuses because years ago the Helix blew a fuse. Only happend once in the 6 years, but when I saw that Spyder Robotics offers replacement fuses, and cheap, I got the 3-pack. Figured its a good thing to have at home, since they all take different ones. Even the different Herpstats take different fuses.

I think it might have been a power surge that messed up the Helix fuse ? Not sure, all I know was after putting in the new one, it ran fine again. I still have some replacement fuses for the Helix somewhere, too, god knows where, though.

You can probably buy those fuses in all kinds of stores, once you know what kind you need. But if you have a problem when the stores are closed..well, its a good thing to have on hand, I think.


oops, forgot to say..I have no idea where it goes inside. I should probably figure that out. LOL. With the Helix, I just googled it..

Ok i'll find out what they are and buy some to keep on hand... I have herpstat 2's also. I run them through surge protectors but you never know.

I have surge protectors too, so I'm not sure how it happened, but it happened after a power outage. When the power came back on, the Helix did not.

That said, we had power outages many times over the 6 years, but the fuse only blew once. Not really sure why..

But when you order the Herpstat it says right on the order page not to forget a pack of fuses. So perhaps it's not so rare after all ? I dunno

Never seen that on the order page because I buy the Herpstats through a breeders website not Spyder.. Guess i missed it. Thx for the heads up.
