Do you have a hygrometer? There's actually no such thing as too humid. Could it be possible it's just water from one of his water bowls?

A bit of condensation won’t hurt them. In a humid environment it’s bound to happen from time to time.

The only possible bad things from a lot of condensation is the possibility of tank flooding or a bacterial bloom. But we'd need to know your humidity number. Like stated, your crab could have just been in a water dish.
