How much humidity is too much?

I have my temporary plastic bin housing set up for my corn snakes. I have had them sitting around for a couple of days so I could test the temperature gradients before I put the snakes in. The temps are fine but the humidity is reading about 67 percent. I have the water bowl all the way on the cool end. Is this too much humidity and thus I should solder more holes. I read on here that 40 to 50 percent is good for them but how much humidity is too much for them?
 
I tend to be a bit less scientific about it. Are you getting condensation on the sides of the bin? That's the point at which I reach for the drill.
 
The humidity in our apartment is usually about 60% no matter what I do, I try not to let it get up higher than that. There is never any condensation in their vivs which is the thing to worry about, mold isn't good for snakes respiratory system.
