    Temperature fluctuation creates the condensation - you need to put some water bottles or something inside your incubator to stabilize the temperatures. My boxes run about 99% humidity (gauge doesn't actually go to 100% but I'm guessing 99 is close enough) and I don't get any condensation at all. But I don't do the substrateless either so that might be the downfall of that method.

    Good luck! :gj:

    Susan... when you set it up did you use warm water?

    One of my boxes took 3 days to stabilize, and didn't really do so until I left it alone.. :rolleyes:

    I've noticed that I get condensation when I open the boxes... any time there is a temp flux, the sides sweat. Not like yours, to the point that there are drips... but it gets about 1/2 that much...is your inc seal supa tight? Or maybe in a spot that is getting cold breezes, etc?

    I've watched my gauges out of curiosity, and 1 degree difference will cause condensation to form... Hope some of that was useful? :oops:

    BEST O'LUCK girl! You'll get it all worked out! :gj:
