Amaro is eating good, and doing pretty good in general. But his favorite sleeping spot is high up on the lattice. He goes up there about 30 minutes before his basking and plant lights go out, and doesn't go to sleep until his uvb goes off. But my mistking is pointed more towards the middle of the cage, not the top. So he only possibly gets in contact with the mist during the morning session. He doesn't look dehydrated but his Urates are quite yellow. I have upped my fogging during the night to try and help get his Urates back into order. Should I point the mistking more towards the top?
Also, I was told 82 grams for a 6 1/2 month old was a little beefy. Becca (@Beman) explained I should be feeding him around 10-12 medium cricket per day instead of 14-15. I did so, and he has lost 4 grams. I dont know exactly how long he is but it is around 4 1/2 - 5'' nose to vent, total body length around 10-11'' give or take. Is 78 grams too thin for that body size?
I will attempt to get some half decent pictures, he is a skittish boy.

As far as the urates go, my chams have never been pure white and he eats lots of silks. He always has excess fluid come out and his poop is never dry. I see more orange when he hasn’t pooped in a while. Right now he goes about once a week and there is always a smidge of orange but the rest is nice and white/off white.
