The humidity was at 62% when I checked the hide, but I could easily tell that the humidity in the hides was MUCH higher than the rest of the tank. I use a heating pad and a heat light for a 50-70 gallon long tank(not sure the real gallon size, I bought it used). The tank has a screen lid that I made my self, the substrate is coconut fiber, and the water bowl is on the opposite side of the tank that the heating pad is; while the rest of the substrate that wasn't in the hide was no where near as damp as that which was in the hide. I took the liberty of heating a needle and poking holes in the hides to allow airflow and to allow the humidity out of the hides. I didn't see my ball in his log five minutes ago when I woke up so I assume he's in one of his hides for the first real time since I put them in there. So I'm assuming that they were indeed too humid and I have corrected that problem(I hope). I can't say for sure but with how much water was collected to the sides of those hides compared to how wet the coconut fiber was I'm willing to bet that the humidty was well over 120% in the hides.
