Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Incubation help
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me set up a hovabator for my leos that are on the way. I'm using vermiculite as a medium. I am planning on buying a digital thermometer that measures the temp and humidity but I'm not sure what would be the best and where to purchase one. I saw some at radio shack but they were wireless...will that work? I'm also using a ranco thermostat and was wondering where i should install the probe. In a deli cup or in the middle of the incubator. Same thing with the thermometer....I don't know where to install it. Thanks johnny

Welcome to Fauna, Johnny.
Hovabators are fine for incubating leopard gecko eggs. I used them for many years with much success.
The radio shack digital thermometers are fine. I have never used a wireless one, so I have to recommend the more "traditional" thermometers. I have always put the thermostat probe inside the incubator rather than inside one of the deli cups, but that is just a personal preference. As far as thermostats, I recommend using a proportional one. I have never used Rancos before, but as long as they are proportional they willl work fine. I use Helix thermostats on all my incubators. I actually have old style mercury thermometers in my incubators, I trust their accuracy more than the digital ones.
I hope that helps, and let us know if you have any other questions. Happy herping!

Those wireless are good to get a fast round about temp reading.... They are somewhat acurate but I rely more on mercury thermometers....

I also use a Ranco.... They are very good thermostats.... I keep my probes in the incubators them selves, not in the deli cups.... Remember that the temps in the deli cups can be up to 2 degrees cooler than in the incubator....
