We're all here to help! Glad to see the humidity dropped.
I actually have a big paver stone under my basking lamp, so it's always dry. So my tort (she's a little unusual for her species because she loves to bask) sits on that and basks.
It's great because the stone is dry and warm so if the substrate was too humid it gives your tort a place to dry out their plastron. You could give that a try too if you're worried about MBD or shell rot.
