    When I need to get the humidity down in my snake room I run a box fan to get the air circulating.

    A dehumidifier is a good idea. Or a heat lamp above the enclosure. Put it far enough away that the enclosure doesn't heat up and it should lower humidity some.

    where do u place the box fan? but im assuming its my hygrometer and thermometer, there analog ones and right now they display at 79 degrees and 79% humidity and i find it odd and wrong. I have ordered my digital and hopefully it gets here this week

    I just place it on the floor in the snake room. Any air moving around will lower the humidity. If you need to you can get one of those little desk fans and place it on top of the tank. Not pointed in the tank, just on top, and it will pull air out of the tank and should lower your humidity.
