during the day with the light on my humidity stays at about 65-70 percent but at night it raises significantly. often high 80's even 90 percent... is there anything i can do to help this? i use peat moss as substrate.

You could hook up a fan, like a computer fan, to help ventilate it. That will lower the humidity.

When you buy the fan there should be a rating on it. Probably something like 12v and .8A. Try to get a 12v adaptor that's as close to that as possible, doesn't have to be exact, but slightly more will be easier on the adaptor.
