Ryan, only a little condensation (or even no condensation) is what you're shooting for. If you had alot of condensation, that would mean you have a temperature difference within the incubator. The only way condensation can occur is if one surface is cooler than the rest. Lots of times, people will get condensation on the lid if the top of the incubator is cooler than the bottom (this will occur even with very small temp. differences). SOunds like your right on track.
On the other note, I'd be just a little scared about the gladware lids. You want a tight fitting lid, but not airtight. I would modify them to allow the SLIGHTEST bit of air exchange. Maybe just a couple of pinhole size openings, or maybe even just not "snapping" the lid all the way down on one side. Remember, you want to keep the humidity in..so don't ventilate too much!
