    It could be possible that the hygrometer sensor got wet. In that case you will get a somewhat inaccurate reading.

    I would let it dry out for a few hours and see if it comes down.

    70-80% humidity for a little while isn't a big deal.

    just use a small heat lamp to balance it out, putting it in the oven just seems like over-doing it

    the oven thing worked... its still a little moist, but over my 3 or 4 hours at work, the humidity dropped from 8X% to 71%... thats just the ambient humidity though. within her hide, its definitely more humid... hopefully, it'll continue dropping... but would it be too bad a thing to maintain high 60's to low 70's?

    I use coconut fibre in the brick form and I let it dry out for a day or two before using it! Is your water dish near the warm side? That can also raise the humidity! At 70%, I wouldn't worry! It will dry out soon!

    At first, I had the water dish on the warm side... but I quickly moved it over to the cool side when I saw the humidity level. But yeahhh!!! Now we're at 67% !

    67% is fine! A little high but it will be okay!
