    Once the lights go off the humidity usually rises to about 70 to 80 percent.

    100 percent is way too much.
    I agree with Don.
    Above, a sustained, 80% humidity is not necessary.
    Evaluate the enclosure's ventilation as well.
    A little fan action - somewhere near-by......... may be needed as well?
    But not so much that it effects the tank's temp.
