In the wild humidity changes depending on the weather and season so newts have to cope with a range of conditions. Extremes should be avoided but a range of 40-70% is probably acceptable. High humidity and poor ventilation will certainly lead to health issues. Your best option is to ensure ventilation is good and the substrate is slightly damp to the touch. A range of hides will provide micro pockets of varying humidity giving the animals some choice.
