    That is bit misleading. The average humidity in the parts of Africa that BP's come from ranges between 48%-95% with the average being between 77%-85%

    The problem isn't the humidity, its condensation and low airflow. As long as you have adequate airflow and no condensation forming in the cage you shouldn't have a problem.

    I keep my cages at 60%-70% humidity normally without any issues.
