i have mine set up with 2 fans and yet the temp fluctuates between 93 and 102 in a period of bout 15 mins is this ok?

[london1817]

@MrBobflipper no ..it needs to stay between 99.0- 100.5 ...i think at 103-6 they are fried.....do you have a dimmer switch on the bulbs?....you can get the temp perfect with one. :)

[MrBobflipper]

@london1817 nope i dont have a dimmer switch and ive tryd moving the thermostat closer to the bulb and for a short period of time i had it at a 95-100 range then it went back to 93-102 some how

@MrBobflipper do you have holes bored in the side?

What's the ideal humidity that needs to be maintained until it hatch?

[london1817]

@jologamefarm 60% til day 19. then as high as you can get it til hatch.

@jamesbnorman1 they still sell them...the 100s are gone by the end of the year, then the 60s in 2013, 40s in 2014 ... or something like that. Best thing to do is buy a LIFETIME supply of them! Im getting phillips bulbs cheap at home depot 16cents each i think--bulk packs. I have literally hundreds of each wattage. Screw you government!  NOone tells me what bulbs i can use!

[jamesbnorman1]

now that the old bulbs are illegal to sell, where do we find one?

[london1817]

@Gualbert101197 its a very touchy temp....99 - 101 at the very hottest...or they fry.
