Water Wiggler????????

[equus2]

I have 4 or 5 water weasels that I could sell to you.....$2.00 a piece, I think. I bought up what they had at walmart, a couple of months ago......don't need them. They haven't been used. Not sure what shipping would be.....

Yep ... gotcha, but it's pretty inexact. The air temp in a still air will vary quite a bit as the heater cycles on and off. After all, if it didn't, the thermostat wouldn't work

At any given time it's not easy to get an accurate temp ..... the wiggler takes the guesswork away. It varies only very slowly, and in a decent incubator it hardly varies at all.

Proportional control is simply a way an electronic temperature controller feeds the heater small, almost continuous bursts of power and it can control the AIR temp to within very fine limits. Combined with forced air it allows precise control at any level (allowing multi-level trays).

The other benefit is that incubators are much less susceptible to being opened. They recover the temp very quickly and, crucially, recover humidity levels much more quickly.

Thanks I will just have some people on look out for me some. I don't have my eggs yet anyway. They are $0.88 at Wal Mart here when they have them. My dad is a shopping guy he likes to travel and look so he can be on the look out.

Dumb question here, but what area of walmart would I find a wiggler?? I have a sinking feeling that the response will be the toy department, but I'm holding out a shred of hope that it's not.

Yes, the toy dept.

They have a section for $.88 toys where it would be. My local one does not carry them but many of them do.

Wow-40+ years of hatching thousands of eggs and somehow I managed to do it w/o a "Water Wiggler"-hardly seems possible.

Yep .... and Americans crossed a continent in covered wagons.

That just stuffed Detroit, didn't it?

It is worth remembering that there are very many people in this forum who are new, anxious, and need all the help they can get.

The wiggler is a remarkable little device that is extremely useful, and can go a long way to calming fears about temperature control.
