Condensation on snake room window

[spitzu]

Looking for ideas on how to get rid of window condensation in the snake room. It's starting to become a problem via slight mold, water damage along the sill, and rusted screws inside the frame. The window is dual pane and is only about a year old.

Most of the stuff I'm reading about online talks about getting rid of humidity, but that obviously isn't an option. Anyone out there that has already encountered and corrected this problem? Is there some special film that is safe for dual panes that I couldn't find?

The plastic you put around windows in the winter time works for me

I get a little condensation on that but only about 1% of what I was getting on the window without it.

Do you have a space heater in the room? I use one and don't have a problem with window condensation. My snake room is in the basement, and I run a dehumidifier down there 24/7. It's not in the snake room though.

Yeah I have a space heater in there. If anything I think the room needs a bit more humidity, not less. I'm going to ACE to pick up that heat shrink plastic and I'll give that a shot.

Do you need to see through the window? If not you could put some foam on the glass. Maybe the black or red foam with a sticky back used to line the bottom of tool chests.
