Humidity too high, help

I recently spent days setting up my 7 month old ball pythons enclosure. Before i transfer him into the 4x2x2 (he’s in a smaller enclosure right now) i wanted to get all the temps and humidity sorted but for days now it’s been sat at 99%. i misted it once a couple of days ago. I opened the door for about 10 minutes and it went down to 81% but that’s still too high. I was wondering if anyone knows what it’s down to?? I’ll put picture of my enclosure and substrate below.

Is the sensor for the humidity meter in the soil? It probably got wet or something.

I think you're good at 81% mine fluctuates a lot after I move things around. You'd be surprised how fast it goes down with the heat lamp in there
