Yes I would say 75% is a little too high. Between 50% and 60% is the best humidity. Also, if you're seeing a change in behavior, then it is probably too cold for him. Try turning the light back on and see what happens.

Maybe he uses red lights like me. I use red lights as a main source of heat, those run all day. If it was a white light, that was a definite no-no.
