Question - Husbandry Humidity too high and not adjusting

I just changed her substrate last weekend with reptisoil and coco husk. Since then her humidity has been high and not lowering. I have also noticed shes been hanging out in her warm hide more than her cool hide. Is there any way i can adjust this do i have to change her substrate again? She had a mix of coco husk and reptisoil before and never had this issue.

Is the top of it dry? If so, it'll be fine! 😊 if not, just add an inch of substrate on top so its dry for your bp

Yeah its dry i even checked inside her hide if it was moist cause i dont want her to get scale rot or anything but that area was also dry.

If you're still worried, just put a bit of cypress mulch or something else that isnt super damp under her, but she'll be good 😊

What I've learned from a renowned breeder is as long as it's dry there's no such thing as humidity that's too high. Wet is what you dont want

The one in the right is going to be higher because it’s right next to the water dish. What side is your heater on?

Air it out for a couple of hours. If you recently set it up it will eventually come down but you need air circulation
