Newbie question

I picked up some WTFs for my terrarium, So far they seem happy and are active when food is given. Ive noticed they deficate large amounts compared to there size. They are babies right now, no more than a inch and a half, but their poops are at least 1/4in, Is that normal? Also Ive got high humidity that im trying to bring down in the terrarium, whats the damage wiht 80% humidity.
thanks guys
Gavin

My babies poop big poops for their size too, and my adults did when they were babies. Fecal size should be the same for eating 2 crickets whether it's a baby or an adult, if you think about it. It's perfectly normal.

The only "harm" I know of from high humidity is that the WTFs may turn brown. (there's been a trend noticed of high humidity/low temp = brown, lower humidity/high temp = green)
If anyone else knows of actual harm, I'd be curious to learn.

Good luck!
