Pretty much I think its just the extreme temps of the cage over night or during the day. The temperatures are not fluxuateing 4 degrees every 15 min. Its not like it reads 90 degrees and fifteen min or a half hour later its 86 degrees then back up to 90 fifteen min later. I was interested in breeding some of my lizards and was told I need to use an accurate prop thermostat not an on/off. I know if I had one of those mini fridge looking incubators the temps would stay stable more than in one of those hovabator types. Just wondering if the thermostat was normal for temp ranges and if it was safe for an incubator?
