Don't turn it on though. 
The light should give just enough heat.

Yay! Thank you 
In the meantime I have moved my 'hopes it will turn into starter' starter into the warm laundry room. I hope it sparks to life :/

Great news!
My *soon to be starter* starter is showing signs of life
Apparently it likes the warm laundry room.
Of course, I am not sure if it is the life forms that I want, but hey, I'll take any sign of life right now.

Feeding #2
This morning I checked on my starter and it had *explanded* and settled, so I fed it for the second time. First I gave it a good stir to aerate it then poured of half into a clean jar. Mixed up the fresh rye flour and water( about 1/4 c flour and a little less than 1/2 c filtered water) and added that to the new clean jar. Re-covered and placed back into the laundry room.
Once I get to between feeding 4-6 I will swith to white flour.
I decided to post what I am doing to help anyone else who decided to try starting a starter!
