Does heavy condensation mean I am misting incorrectly?

[Necromencer]

Here is a lateral view of my tank, misted (hand with a spray bottle with dechlorinated water) a few hours ago. The condensation is a lot, and when I get frogs, I'm afraid that with this and the plants, I'll hardly ever see them!

Am I doing anything wrong? Is this a sign of little ventilation or too much water?

I don't really want to get a reptifogger, since they are very expensive and I've only heard bad reviews about them.


Edit: Apparently it's because there is little air circulation inside the tank and the temperature of the tank is higher than the room it is in.

Can this be fixed by drilling 6 or more small holes into the lid? Allowing for more air ventilation? I could fix a normal house fan (small) blowing into the top of the vivarium, through the drilled holes, which would forcefully circulate the air for an hour (don't want temp to drop or cause a cold draft)

Ideas?

Hi Andrew,
How are you?

Perhaps you are , simply, misting too much ? It really should not remain that fogged up 2 hours later.
What is the temp in and out of the enclosure? ?
You might invest in a cheap glass aquarium thermometer ( you know ....those ones that float) ---stick it in the soil.

I have a thermometer in the tank, it reads as, currently, 21'C (with 1% margin of error) and 87% humidity with 5% margin of error.

I've recorded that my room temperature fluctuates in the 18-22'c range.

I spray at the back of the tank, and from the top, quite a few times. I've looked at getting an aquarium scrapper with an attached squigee but the top half of my tank is acrylic and I tested it with just the magnet alone and it felt like it was going to crack any second.

I'll try misting it more times but with lesser sprays, and keep track that way. If not, I'll try to put a few holes in the top, to allow ventilation.
