Condensation on Egg Boxes

ExoticHobbyist Jun 29, 2012 06:16 AM

I was wondering how do you keep the condensation from building up on the lids of the shoebox type containers and dripping on your eggs?
Thanks

The last ten days or so my lids really start sweating ,all I do is gently remove the lid every day and shake the lid to get the water off.I have done this for years and years and never had any problems

I put a shim under one end of the bin so the water droplets run down the opposite side wall and into the medium.

I drill an 1/8 inch diameter hole on each end of the shoe box. I only have to take the lid off once during the last ten days of incubation and wipe the lid dry with a paper towel.

I stretch a piece of paper towel over the top of the tub and then put the cover on. The paper towel absorbs the condensation and eliminates drips onto the eggs.
