High humidity in rack tubs?

I have two tubs with pythons in them just to test out my new rack system.
The humidity in the bins keeps fluctuating from 76-83% depending on the time of day.
I'll attach pictures below

Is this okay? I don't want them to get RIs, scale rot, etc.

Suppose to keep humidity around 60-70%. Too LOW of humidity will cause RI. I think your humidity is fine. If aapen gets too moist it will start to mold. More air holes will drop the humidity down and the humidity could be affected by the area you live in also...

It's not moist at all.
The aspen is actually quite dry. Idk where it's coming from.
But thank you, that makes me feel a lot better knowing it shouldn't hurt them.

I've never used a gauge for my humidity but I'm pretty confident the humidity in my snake room is pretty high and I've never had an issue. I've even seen some keepers with humidity so high that their tubs have condensation build up often and they have never had an issue either.

Yea it could likely be semi off, But i myself dont gauge humidty per rack I have a overall humidty for room That sits at 55-60. During shed i re-moist the coco husk, and as they shed let it go back "dryish?" vs the moist during shed.

To get a RI from humidty it would have to be cooler humid air in the low 70's to 60's

A smaller water bowl can help reduce humidity if necessary

Wow you must live somewhere very humid! I'd love humidity near this.

The outside air where I live is rarely above 20-30%, which makes it absolutely killer to maintain it above 50%.

Placing a fan in the room can also drop it a bit. Put it on the other side of the room and do not point it directly at the rack. I personally would not let it stay that high. Having 50-60% works great for my sheds.

Having smaller bowls will drop it as will keeping them away from the heat strip.
