Is there such thing as too high of a humidity? The current reading on my humidity gauge is High (Which means the humidity is around 91% - 100%). Is this a bad thing? Should I try to lower the humidity?

YES!! Depends on what animal (species) you have, but too much humidity can cause bacteria to grow in the enclosure, can cause scale rot, etc.
As a side note, you may also see a usually calm animal get to be more aggressive or aggitated with too high of humidity.

Thank you so much! I've never had a reptile that neede such high humidity. I created a larger vent in the cage to lower the humidity. Thanks!
