My blue-tongued skink tank is too humid at night. What do I do?

Question

I got a northern blue tongued skink baby. I am a first time owner and super excited, so I wanted to set up the cage and make sure everything is good to go when the little guy gets here. The problem is, the tank gets really humid at night (70 to 80%)though it's perfect during the day (25 to 30%). I don't know what to do. I know changes at night are healthy but I couldnt find out if that was still too much humidity at night. I hope you can help me before this problem becomes a big issue

Increase the ventilation if possible. A dehumidifer can also be used in the room. To reduce humidity in the enclosure, a sack of plain, uncooked rice or simple coal can be secured on or in the cage. If you choose to go this route, make sure your skink cannot reach the bag.
