Lowering humidity

[EasternGirl]

I know that usually we discuss the issue of not being able to get the humidity high enough in our enclosures. But this summer, it is so humid in Delaware, that I constantly see the humidity gauge in my tanks up around 70%. I have stopped misting and removed anything I had on top of the tanks to hold the humidity in. Should I be worried about these levels of humidity, and is there anything I can do to get them lowered? Thanks for any input you can give.

What's the ambient humidity in Delaware at this time of year? If it's not as high as 70% then you should be able to lower tank humidity by increasing the ventilation. If the ambient humidity is higher then your only option is going to use an artificial means, either an electrical dehumidifier or a dehumidifier that draws moisture into a chemical block might help.
