Feeding... Do you feed everyday? If so at his age you need to start curbing him back to every other day feedings.
Guttload for feeders needs to be improved. You can buy Repashy bug burger or do a mixture of veg and fruits alternating what types you use each week. See graphic.
Supplements... right schedule. Can you take pics of the supplement bottles so we can see the exact ones you are using?
hand misting is fine. length of time is good and the amount of mistings during the day is good.
Fecal description... if the urate is mostly yellow or even a third yellow then he has dehydration issues. I am guessing that while you are misting the fact that he is in a glass cage is contributing to this. Hot moist air is what it is creating. Which is not good for him. Also no live plants in the enclosure.. This is what they like to drink off of. Pothos plants are wonderful and they even like chewing on them. You can put a little dripper device on the top of your cage creating a slow consistent drip onto the leaves
Cage type... As already pointed out. Much too small for the little man. needs to be changed asap
Lighting... As already pointed out needs to be changed asap.
Temp. Too hot... Needs to be at 85 for basking level (highest point he can sit on under the heat). I think your are probably sitting at a higher ambient temp though since it is a glass enclosure.
Humidity is fine. You want a target range of 30-50% during the day and it can skyrocket at night after lights are off.
Being as how you are in Pennsylvania I think changing over to the screen will be very easy for you to get the right humidity levels.
