Bard, Yes excess moisture can kill some python eggs! There are many questions to ask you about your whole incubator setup before we try and fix your moisture problem. Size and type of incubator?, heat source and where is it placed?, do you have fans?, what are your temps in and out of the egg container?, what size egg box? how many eggs and what type of eggs are they? do you have holes in the egg box? what stage in incubation are the eggs? Are the eggs fertile? Maybe some pictures would help.
But to fix your moisture dripping issue tilt the egg container so the water runs off and does not drip onto the eggs.
What you really need to do is figure out why your getting so much condensation on the inside of the container. It sounds like you have a temperature and humidity difference between your incubator and your egg container. I personally like to keep the incubator humidity high so there is not much of a difference between the egg box and the incubator.
Good luck.
