How to keep humidity down in bins?

I have my two corns (08s) in mid sized sterilite bins (will post pics later tonight). There are drilled holes on 3 of the 4 sides, but the humidity is still in the low 80s!

When I get a chance (a few times a day), I lift the lids up and try to get some more ventilation going. The air temperature of the bins isn't high (in the 70s)...but how would a low temp to humidity ratio effect my corns' health?

Ooops! Missed this last part. Low temp to high humidity has all the makings for a respiratory infection. Of course, you're talking ambient air temperature here, so as long as there's a warm end (low to mid 80's) and a cooler end (mid 70's), it would be okay, but high humidity would still worry me . . . more holes will help. Here's an example of on of my tubs, the holes are on all four sides:

haha okay I guess that was a stupid question!

I cut more holes tonight....but I was just unsure if that would make a big enough difference. I looks like it already is...thanks guys!
