What kind of containers do you guys use in the fridge? I put my seeds in glass tupperware in my fridge with silica packs inside them, and noticed condensation inside the tupperware.

That depends on the seal and how humid the air was you initially sealed it with, you may need more dessicated or at least swap it out now that itā€™s cold, also alot of Desiccant can be recharged persay by cooking in the over at low temps for awhile to drive off moisture

I live in a fairly humid environment. I guess Iā€™ll stick with the closet as I fear having everything get destroyed by me not checking regularly, than a lower germination rate. If the humidity starting point is the issue it doesnā€™t matter what kind of container I get.

Any sealable container will do the same in a hot humid area though like I said can swap out dessicant or initially leave it open when cooling then throw in your dessicant once cooled and seal it, itā€™s the transition from hot and humid to cold while sealed that causes that.
