You might want to check your vermic...it looks really wet, especially the way its actually sticking to all sides of the bad eggs in the second pic...but its really hard to tell by the pic...

I know that people might say, why use the inc. that spiked a temp, but I have heard of FWatt spiking.. so I guess now I feel safer about it now that it has not fluctuated in a few days.
Flexwatt can't "spike" if a good thermostat is controlling it.

Were you using the wafer thermostat that comes with the hovabator? I'm pretty sure you've been around long enough to have read threads about how unreliable they are, I was surprised when I saw that you planned on using one...

Sorry about the mishap...if I were you...I wouldn't trust that incubator again.
