Congrats on your new pet, I'm a new 1st time owner too. I had my girl on cypress mulch at first and had the same issue: humidity ranging from high 70s to 80s. I scooped out all the cypress and left paper towels down, and voila, humidity 57-58% ever since then. And now I know if the humidity drops, I can throw in a handful of cypress to steam it up a little! Hope that helps.
