    To raise the humidity you can cover the screen top (I am assuming the tank has a screen top? - if so, that is letting out a lot of humidity), use soil as a substrate, add live plants, use a humidifier, use warmed water, use moving water, and/or mist the enclosure more often.

    The humidity should be 60-85%; it does not have to be 85-90% all the time. Reaching so high occasionally is good, but too much humidity all the time can cause fungi to grow, so you want the enclosure to air out a bit once and a while.

    pretty much what dragon paw said but when you cover the top... cover it with a towl and make sure to leave some uncovered
