    Help: How much humidity is to much?

    When I got my new babys I tried housing them in glass vivs but I think they were to big because two of them will not eat. So I moved them all to plastic shoe boxes. I have read through a lot of posts on housing. And i'm confident that my set up is good but my humidity seems high, about 74% to 76%. My tubs are not in a rack I want to build one, but can't at this time. Do I need to try to lower the humidity? If so, How? Should I drill more holes in the tubs? They each have about twenty holes right now. Any help or suggestions would be much appreiciated.

    The humidity is too high since you are looking for a target of about 50-55%.
    I would make sure that the water bowl is small and on the cool end of the tub.
    If it is, then I would put in more holes.
