    Usually at that point if there is condensation that drips on the eggs or slight mold I'll leave it and haven't had a problem personally. If there's lots of mold like green mold I've used antifungal foot powder on that egg to stop the spread. The only time ive seen that was on a boob egg that didnt go full term. But the closer they are to hatch date I dont worry about a condensation dripping or a little mold. The more the eggs develop the more the egg box temp will increase and they will "sweat" a lot.

    I use 1:1 vermiculite to water 150 grams of each in a six quart tub with a light diffuser cut to fit on top of vermiculite
    put press n seal on lid on and incubate at 89 deg. Once the eggs go in I never open the box until they've pippedd or one time when I had an egg go obviously bad. Also have had almost 100% hatch rate over three seasons doin this. Literally they only one that went bad on me was the boob egg.
