Another Incubator Question

[Stewart_Reptiles]

My plan is to line the back and sides with Heating Pads

That's over-killed I piece of heat tape running in the back is more than enough .

My question is this: Where do I position the Thermostat Probe?

Because temperature will vary from top to bottom and because there will be a difference between the temp in the incubator itself and the temp in the tub, I recommend to set a dummy tub (set like a real egg tub without the eggs). Remember egg temps will rise toward the end of incubation so it is best not to put a probe in a real tub with eggs.

Do I need to put digital thermometers in each egg tub?

I recommend top, middle and bottom.
