    I had the same problem a few months ago, but with 90-100% humidity.You could use a smaller water dish or add more holes. But rule of thumb, if there's no visible moisture on the sides of the tub or damp substrate, then I wouldn't worry too much.

    A lot of people use 70+% humidity for their normal set ups, not just during shed periods. I know the caresheet says 50-60%, but its normal to be 70-80% humidity in Africa.
