I used hovabators up until this year... got tired of having 3 set up and running at one time. The best bet with a hovabator is to keep it in a cooler room of the house where the temps stay fairly constant. If you do want to use a good thermostat I would suggest the Ranco model at http://www.dsreptiles.com/ It is a fairly inexpensive and ACCURATE thermostat. This is the same thermostat I used this year when I built my own incubator. Costs $75 shipped. I bought the one with the surge protector added to it to run my fan and heat pad, etc



Hope this helps
