Humidity too high?

[Jswan]

What's up everyone? Loooong time lurker, first time poster. Never had any problems at all with my guy, luckily, and so I never had any reason to post. Anyways, I live in Vancouver, BC, which is one of the most humid places in the country. With the seasons changing, the humidity is also rising. I don't spray my ball's tank or anything like that, and have no humidifier in my home. However, just as is, the humidity in his tank sits around seventy percent, giver er take 5 percent. I just wanna get some feed back and opinions as to whether or not this is bad and/or what measures I should be taking to fix this problem. Thanks for any response.

70% is fine as long as there isn't any condensation or mold growth.

Humidity 72 atm. Definitely no condensation and as far as mould goes, I cleaned his tank 3 days ago and saw nothing so unlikely any would come about since then. Thanks for the input.

Humidity is now at 75/76.. Is there a point when it becomes an issue worth worrying about? Sorry if this may seem like a stupid concern but I'm getting kind of worried

The parts of Africa where come from has very high humidity year round, much higher than most people keep their cages.

This graph shows the average high and low % humidity for the region:



As you can see the humidity stays above 60% most of the year, and can get into the mid 90%'s most days as well.

The only things you need to be worried about is condensation and mold.I t wouldn't hurt to try and lower your humidity some. Have you recently changed out your substrate?

I guess that should have been my first course of action. Very reassuring, thanks. Outside humidity here was 87, so its actually pretty close. I changed out my substrate a few days ago, currently using aspen.

An area fan or ceiling fan in the room would help lower it a bit.... Anything that moves air removes moisture from it.

Thanks for the input. My only concern with using a fan is that it will drop ambient temps to much in my bedroom, otherwise that would probably do the trick. I think I'm just gonna let it be.
