Getting rid of water vapour on glass

Hey all,

How do I get rid of water vapour on the glass of my formicarium? It clouds the glass as well. There are currently no ants inside it, but will come soon. Any ideas?

Condensation would probably have to do with temperature fluctuations -- warm, moist air inside the formicarium losing heat and condensing against a cooler glass. Keeping the nest at a more stable temperature (i.e. putting a towel or blanket over it if it is unheated) will probably help.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.
