    Signs that high humidity is causing problems

    My tank is sitting at 80% humidity right now, no condensation.

    I had to move the tank into my room because the rest of the house is getting colder and my roommate doesn't do well in heat so he usually turns it down. It is much warmer in my room but the humidity jumped from 65% to 80%. Is it alright to keep it at that point and are there any signs I can look for to see if it's causing issues?

    As long as there's no condensation anywhere and there is enough ventalation there shouldn't be a problem.

    The tank design does too good of a job keeping in humidity

    More holes. Low air flow and high humidity are known to cause RI. Check the smell does it smell fresh and clean or closed up and damp old basement smelling?

    It is a funny balance it is likely that you will need to mist of play humidity games still just not as often. I find once a week or so I mist the substrate some and that lasts a 5-7 days now the heat is on (my place sits at 32% with the heat on) Add a few holes top and bottom and wait and see then if it isn't better add a few more. Don't go too crazy just 2-4 then you can always add that again. balance is needed.

    The only concern is that once it starts getting warmer outside and I bring the tank back down that the humidity might be too low...but misting is an easy fix.
