There is but without a gauge you won't know what or how it needs adjusted.

Too high, open your lid a bit and quit misting the inside of the tank. Misting within the tank can also be cause for a mold/bacteria complication too.
Too low, larger water source or close the lid a bit, and maybe a little mist here or there avoiding misting the humidity gauge, and always leaving open at least a slit for fresh air to cirulate.

I usually don't mist the tat. I just put a lot of steam into the air by putting a cup of boiling water in the tat. Make sure that it's in a high cup or bottle. NEVER pour boiling water into the crabitat.

After I broke 2 misters in a row in a couple of days (they just wouldn't work) I decided that I didn't need them anymore and now I use a steam method. It works pretty well.

Could be the tank conditions aren't correct and they are burrowing to try to seek comfort too.
Are there any air fresheners, perfumes, deodorants, cleaners, paints, etc. used in your home?
