How to lower humidity?

I'm needing your help because I don't understand why my humidity is so high. Right now it's holding at around 60%, which according to the Dumeril's care sheets I've read is the high end. They say that it's supposed to be between 40-60%. My lid is already starting to look like swiss cheese, and I even installed a "vent" on the cool side of the cage.




The UTH stays around 85-90F (it should stay at 90, but it's just a cheap ExoTerra Desert while I wait for my Ultratherm), and it's under the log hide you see on the right side, so it's not right underneath the water bowl or anything. Also, I live in LA where the humidity is nil. Do I need to cut more holes in the lid? Should I install another vent on the hot side of the cage?

I really don't understand. To boot, my inside air temps range from 70-80 degrees, and they should pretty much stay at 80. What am I doing wrong, here?
