How do you measure the humidity? A digital readout or a gauge? If it's a gauge, it could be that the gauge is wrong, and your humidity isn't really that high.

What part of the country are you in? I know the southeast can get pretty muggy sometimes (although this time of year doesn't seem likely). How big of a tank are you using, and what are you using as a water bowl? Are you even using a tank, and what are you using to cover the top if you are? If you aren't using a tank, what are you using, and does it have a lot of ventilation?

Hmmm... does the bedding seem real wet? does it actually feel really humid in there? When it's that humid the glass tends to fog up near the hide or other places where cage furniture gets close to the glass.

Again, try just using paper towel to see what things are like without any bedding at all, and from there just experiment with different setups. If your water dish is right below what you use to measure humidity, that could also give you a bit of an inaccurate reading.



There's a lot of things you can try, with a small collection it's mostly just tinkering around until you get it right. Oh, are you relying mostly on a heatpad for warmth or are you also using a heat lamp? A heat lamp can help dry things out.
