Humidity too high? New setup
So I'm getting a wonderful little columbian RTB this week, I finished setting up my enclosure yesterday I set it all up and got the heat running again (after my test run before decor last week) and my humidity seems to be hanging around 90-95% (I've read ideal is 60-80%?)
I'm using an 80 watt heat panel, I haven't even filled the water dishes yet, nor have I misted, It's just moisture from the coconut fiber bedding I laid down yesterday, any tips on how to lower that humidity a bit?
I'm using a 48x18x14 pvc cage with glass doors if that helps any.

I've read many people using coconut bedding let it dry a few day after expanding the brick, otherwise they find themselves in your situation.
Just let the enclosure open for a day or two for now.

I bought it in the loose bag actually! I guess it just retains moisture really well I'll do as suggested and leave it open for a few days then, thanks!
