    75% is pretty high for a prolonged period of time. I would work on lowering it.

    You could go with a smaller water dish, maybe even more holes.

    75% while higher than most people keep shouldn't cause any problems as long as it isn't forming condensation. The average humidity where BP's come from ranges between 77% and 83% depending on the time of year.

    More holes will help lower humidity as will using a smaller water dish. If your substrate is damp letting it dry out will also reduce humidity.

    Sorry my English there didn't sound wright :) I meant that it has plenty of hole but I could always make more, water dish is quiet small and I only fill it 2 cm high and the substrate is aspen and is not wet.
