advise please on fridge conversion

[kevchandler]

Ive got an old fridge which im converting into an incubator for my corn snake eggs. I have always used a hovabator which is a still air incubator, but people are telling me to add small fans to circulate the air to keep tempretures more stable....any advise would be grateful..thanks kevin

you may have a thermal gradiant from bottom to top, to eliminate this place fans,

thanks for your reply.... kev

I think it is best to move the air around if you can, this will eliminate the thermal gradient. You can then use heat mats and a pulse stat.

Try these:
Brushless 12Vdc Axial Fans : 12V / Mains Fans : Maplin

I couple of the small ones should do the trick

Cheers
