There is a relation between ventilation and RI. Low ventilation and high humidity with ambient temps appropriate for royals is a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, fungus. Both of which can cause RI. With optimal breeding conditions the bacteria levels can be higher than normal, increasing the chances.
What is you ventilation like? I test mine by using a paper substrate and keeping the RH at 60% than removing the water bowl and timing how long it take to drop to room RH. I don't like seeing over one hour. Most of mine change in 20 min of less.
