Well, I never get too much condensation until a couple of weeks before hatching. Does your incubator have a faen in it? I ask because I've read that if the top of the incubator is a bit cooler than the bottom, which is the typical situation due to the old "heat rises" thing, that leads to condensation. I have a fan that circulates the air in the incubator and seem to have pretty good success. No, I don't include air holes in my egg boxes, except for one hole for the probe and thermostat to go through. ITs just slightly larger than the diameter of the probe. I've always just used the lids that come with the rubbermade/sterlite boxes. Don't have any experience with the plate glass lids. Either way, I still think you are fine. Even with a bit of condensation. When you lift the lid from one side, water shou.ld run down the opposite side back into the perlite. Hope I've helped. Good luck!
