Re: to much humidity????
where do you live? what's the ambient humidity in the rest of the house/building? How about outdoors?
If both indoors and outdoors everywhere is too humid, the only things I can think of to help are to close up all the windows and make use of the air conditioning/heating up as both cut humidity. There may be some substrates that eat up moisture better than others as well, hopefully more versed in reducing humidity can chime in.

Re: to much humidity????
do you have a humidifier running somewhere???
Are you misting regularly? Thats the first thing to stop doing.
Do you have moss in the cage? If so take it out.
Is your water bowl over the heater or under a heat lamp? Move it somewhere cooler.
Those are just some more thoughts I had

It has to be your substrate. When did you last change the substrate and what are you using?

I should add that some people would kill for 68% humidity!!! That's about where I keep mine.
