Quick question. What are you using to measure the humidity of the tank. It is possible that the gauge you are using is wrong and when it reads 95% it is actually much lower or even much higher.

Analog gauges are horribly inaccurate and Digital ones are only slightly less crapy. If you have an analog one you would be better off with it in the trash as it will be so wrong it won't be of any help. Digital ones I have seen off by as much as 25%. If you have a digital the best way to gut check it is to remove it from the tank for a few days to make sure the sensor dries out completely. Then add it back right after a misting and check it every 10 mins until it normalizes. When you mist try not to mist directly onto the sensor, but you should expect it to be off on average of + or - 10%.
Right?

I'm using a digital temperature-humidity gauge. A couple actually. One doesn't show every line of the number which is why I bought a new one. I'd first bought the analog gauges but came on here and was told by everyone that they suck, lol. So I got a refund for those. But the two gauges are usually the same, you can sort of tell which number is which on it. It's exact even up to the point 5, or whatever it may be.

I have removed the gauge a few times, it immediately goes down, then goes back up once I put it back in. It's very reactive. Okay thanks I'll avoid misting the actual gauge. I have gotten water on it before on accident but try not to for the most part.

Even if the gauge is off, I'll just keep it at the spot that seems right for him. He seems healthier when it's at 90%. That may really be 70 or 80, but he's reacting well with the humidity there. Thanks again!
