    You could melt / drill holes in the tubs. I do not do this myself, but have heard of others that use this method.

    The medium you are using for your incubation could be too moist also. What is your incubator setup?

    Re: Incubator Problem

    Condensation is going to form inside the egg tubs. Its really nothing to worry about as long as its not dripping on the eggs.
    I hatched two clutches last year. Hatchrite,light diffuser panel, a little extra water,press and seal and a snap on lid. There is one small(1/8'')hole in one end of the tub. I keep it covered with tape for the first 6 weeks.
    Condensation formed on the press and seal as well as the sides of the tubs. No mold grew.All the eggs hatched out healthy babies.
