Humidity Issues

Ok I have my new rack and I am having serious issues with to much humidity build up in my tubs, it's not in all of them and it only happens in certain ones when they are misted every other day. I have so many holes punched in these tubs I don't think there is room for more. But it's starting to worry me about them getting infections. Any idea on how to reduce this?

Temps in the tubs are 90-92 cool side 74-76, I use flexwatt heat tape and a johnsons 1500 watt thermostat if that has anything to do with it.

ummm... are the tubs with high humidity all together? Like I was thinking if they were all on one side, or on the bottom, or something, maybe it is heat coming through the vents? Or if they are close to the window and get a little extra condensation in the morning that raises humidty? Basically, is there any pattern of which tubs are more humid?

outta my freakin mind
Any condensation that is collecting, is coming from water inside the tubs. If the holes in the humid hides are too big, you are over spraying them or they have a bigger water dish that could be the problem. Is there anything different about the ones that are too humid?

Hmm it could be I am over spraying them, the water dishes are all the extra small exo-terra ones so I don't think that is the problem. I usually only mist the papertowels in their humid hides 2-4 good times but maybe ill cut back and see what happens..
