I used all the same type of thermometer - not wireless and also with a 6ft probe. I'm not at the shop and I don't recall the name. I bought them at Radio Shack. The reason I don't trust them is because the do not show the same temp across all 4 even at room temp. They very about a degree up or down (not much, but enough to scare me).



I use Helix thermostat also. I had it set at 89, but it spiked to 90 a few times before turning off. 90 should be okay, but it still concerned me. It is odd because none of my Helix controlers ever go over the programmed heat setting in the cages, but for some reason it did in the incubator.



Thanks for the guidance. I have a few ball python clutches on the way (they are easier to incubate), but I think I will get online and try to find some of those thermometers.



I'll look you up again later for your refridgerator design. I want to build a new incubator for next year.



Thanks,

Rick
