Is there such thing as too much humidity for my 6 monty sulcata? What's the lowest it should be at? Thanks

Too much humidity isn't the concern. Too LOW of temperatures WITH high humidity is the big concern.

If you have high humidity (60-80%) you must keep your temperatures above 80F day and night, in all areas of the enclosure. Lower temperatures can cause respiratory problems and a sick tort.

If there is an upper limit, I have not found it. I find that keeping it 80% or higher helps grow them smoother. Even in my 80% humidity closed chambers, they still have a humid hide that is at or near 100%, and they choose to sleep in it every night.
