I wouldn't worry. That humidity level is within the normal range of their natural habitat. It's also common for humidity to increase at night when the basking light is off. Laying with their legs straight out or dangling off of a perch is also very common and a sign that they are basking and relaxed.
 
Definitely don't fret too much over humidity. So long as you aren't drenching the walls of the enclosure and increasing the humidity intentionally, any natural fluctuation in that range is fine. I live in a moderately humid climate so, especially if that's the case where you live, it will happen.

When I see Mizu flop down on his belly and lay his legs down at his sides, it reminds me of a kid falling asleep on their belly during a nap. I often get comfy in bed on my stomach myself (regardless of what people say about sleeping on the belly, it just is comfortable to me), so appreciate when they're relaxed while basking or when they go to sleep. Means they're in a good place.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
