humidity too high

i have three young girls
just recently set them up new cages, took an aquarium and made it front opening with an acrylic door. any-whoo, im having trouble getting the humidity down,its at 85% right now im going to drill more holes in the acrylic to add more ventilation but i was wondering is 85% humidity REALLY bad?
and what kind of probs could this cause?
i have searched but all the info i can find covers too low humidy

For boas most need 50% humidity and 70% for when shedding. Adding holes and good room ventilation will help. A lil fan in the room blowing toward the tanks will help. Just adjust when needed to get the right humidity.

It would most likely cause a Respitory Infection.
Try drilling in 2" holes in the door, and put aluminum vents in them. You can pick them up at any hardware store for maybe $5 each.
