I just checked on my tank and the humidity is in the mid 90’s. What should i do to at least lower it to around the 80’s?? I do want to open the lid and have escape artists. Its a glass canopy lid i have on the tank

Re: Humidity problem
Higher humidity isn't a problem for the crabs. The food might mold faster, but there really isn't 'too high' of humidity. I am not familiar with glass canopies, but I have 'vented' my plexiglass lid just a little by propping it open half an inch when the humidity and/ or temp gets too high.

Re: Humidity problem
If you have a glass canopy, humidity shouldn't be escaping unless it's open at some point.
Glass holds humidity longer than acrylic or plastic, so it shouldn't be an issue.
You did mean you didn't want to open the lid? You don't want crabs escaping.

I keep my humidity at 94-99% with no issues.
