Could someone clear up the humidity question for me please?

What is the humidity range for a baby? (Hermann’s)
What is the humidity range for a juvi/adult?

I have read it should be approx 50-70%

I have an open table and the humidity is usually close to 60%. I soak the substrate (coir and top soil) fortnightly/monthly and spray every other day if needed. He gets his bath every couple of days and appears to be healthy and fine! (He’s almost 4 so guess he counts as a Juvi?)

I think you've got the right idea. This is a matter of opinion, and I agree with what you are doing as the best course of action.
