What do i do if the humidity levels go too high to bring them back down?
    You can use a fan to blow air across (not in) the top and that may circulate the air in the tank enough to lower your humidity if it's always humid in there you can also try using a drier substrate like paper or aspen on half the tank, decreasing the size of your water bowl could help too. if the humidity only spikes to that from time to time it's probably fine
