I've kept balls for quite awhile now.... I know that doesn't mean anything to you but I feel like with a healthy colony of 60 plus and hatchlings every season I must be doing something right. Anyways, the differences between plastic and glass aside here's the things I would change ASAP.
1. Get rid of the bright lights. Try a radiant heat panel or even a ceramic heat emmiter. The bright lights are not only unnecessary but stressful. More stress equals a compromised immune system. Equals issues.
2. Keep heat on at optimal temps 24:7. Unless youre breeding there's no reason for a night drop. And for breeders the heat doesn't just get shut off its gradually dropped and a process. For some they don't even use a heat drop. Every single one of my breeders/ babies have heat and optimal conditions 24:7. No questions asked. Any less and you'll have an Ri within time.

I see what you're trying to accomplish by saying you want to mimic the natural world. But I just don't think you know enough about their actual habitat and habits in the wild to do that. Not saying you couldn't but what you are offering now is far far away from what these guys are experiencing out in Africa.
And in the end Wcs don't have the luxury of a human doting over them. Our pets and cb animals do. Let's do what's best for them and not what we think will make them feel more wild.
