Well I just put the eggs in the incubator yesterday. Is it safe to take the egg box out and put it on now?
I have air wholes around the egg tub to keep the humidity perfect. Would these wholes be causing more condensation?

I took the lid off and noticed condensation already building to the point it ran off when I turned the lid. I put a paper towel across the tub then put the lid back on. So any water dropping will hit the paper towel instead of the eggs.
Your thoughts????
Also I figured try this vs press and seal cause this way will collect any water dripping. Press and seal with still allow water to drip.

Adding the paper towel took care of the condensation building up on the lid & dripping. My question is does anyone else do this?

Re: How to set up an egg tub
Sure - I don't see why not. Most folks use 12" Flexwatt connected to a good T-stat, but I'd imagine if you can get the heat pad to keep the temp constant, it would work fine.
Whatever you do, don't put the egg box directly on top of the heat pad. Just use the pad to get the internal ambient temp up to 89 degrees.

Is there any hole on the top?

I understand you don't want water dripping on the eggs I assume to keep mold from growing on the eggs. But it seems to me there wouls be a lot of condensation on the lid in a sealed container and you are bound to get some water drops on the eggs ,if that happens what do you do ? Im guessing just use a paper towel and gentle soak up the water droplet but im not sure.

Re: How to set up an egg tub
If you are getting a lot of moisture sitting the tub at a slight angle can make it drain harmlessly down a wall.
