Yeah too high for the aircell to develope

What incubator are you using?

more vents will lower humidity The heat the bator makes burns the humidity up but it needs a way to excape

Is your local temperature also high? 66% is the value in the incubator, right? What about the room the incubator is in? Your room humidity can't be that high unless your outdoors temperature is also very warm.
