I had a issue with humidity at the start, but I sorta fixed it with some plastic wrap. Now the humidity is almost always 85-90+. I'm not sure if too much humidity harmful.

we just have a towel over the top of ours and if it gets to much just peel it back a bit till it drops again, the only problem with to much humidity i guess would be mould, you dont want it soacky wet in there not sure the scorpions wanna be too wet Smile

Maybe stick a few holes in the wrap to let some air circulate?

there can never be too much humidity with emps, they are known to take fully submersed baths in their water dishes. But with high humidity comes a few problems, like what bex said, mould and other things like mites. Also it's a lil harder to dig for the scorps with a marsh-like substrate
