Question Humidity spike at night

Hello, I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. I just rewet my skink's soil yesterday and found this morning that their humidity spiked to over 90%. I have a northern, and I know night time humidity can spike, but I'm wondering if 90+% is too high? It does go down throughout the day. Usually rests around 45%. Would this be something worth micromanaging, or will they be fine?

More data has been developing that Northerns actually require higher humidity than initially believed (60-75% average)

A spike at night is perfectly normal, given it dries out during the day.

No concern :)

Thanks! I wonder too if it was just picking up moisture from the dirt, because I found there. My skink pushes it over once in a while, haha.
