Incubator Temperature Fluctuation?

[LeoGirl575]

Hey guys. I have an incubator that was made by a local gecko breeding company in my city. It's pretty large (considering I'm breeding for hobby), 2'x 2'x 2', and it can hold a good 50 deli cups.

I've been testing it out for about a week with digital thermometers, and so far, it's working pretty well.

However, I have one question; The temperature fluctuates by a few .0 degrees every couple minutes - never more than a .7 degrees does it fluctuate though. I understand almost all incubators fluctuate a tiny amount, but is .7 or less degrees too much?

Thanks in advance,

In my experience, fluctuations up to 2 degrees seem to be OK, though the less the better.

Thank you very much. Mine's pretty steady. Never more than a degree it fluctuates, if that.
