Is this to much bush in one place? She is only 2 months old and very small. I will never find her in this mess but I´ve been told that they should have loads of foliage.

My problem before with her was that she always hanged around in the bottom of the ficus. I have moved them up and lower the temp to 75F and 80F basking temp. Humidity goes to 85% when misted and drops to 65% between.

Does it look good? :)
 
Im not a fan of fake leaves, nor of the deaf-corn plant

Id remove the fake leaves and add a bigger live plant - maybe a big pothos, which will also add vines for her to climb on.
 
Honestly I would suggest returning your enclosure. As a new keeper you have many new details you need to focus on other than drainage and mold issues. You can purchase a mesh enclosure online on many of the site sponsors websites. If you don't want to wait you can buy one at petsmart/ petco. Once you add a mature umbrella plant you shouldn't have any issues keeping your humidity up. If you do run Into any issues you can simply fasten a section of plastic shower curtain to one or two sides.

I actually need to keep her doors open sometimes just to lower the humidity. So That is not a issue.

Im thinkin about getting a mesh cage when she gets older... Im not rich so I cant really spend money just like that..

You do realize the cost of a mesh enclosure is generally lower than that of a glass. I bought a 29x29x 72 enclosure for under 100 brand new and that included shipping. If you purchased that enclosure you should be able to return it without an issue so long as there isn't any damage. Most importantly when purchasing any reptile you should take into consideration that they are a high maintenance being and can require quite a bit of money to properly take care of.


Here is a link to an inexpensive, quality enclosure -

I own this brand and regardless of some negative reviews, would have to say it is a very quality enclosure. It's mesh is commercial grade nylon that can with stand 350 degrees ferinheight so it is fine to set heat lamps on it directly so long as your basking spot is adjusted appropriately ( 9-10" below the lamp for basic household basking light). My favorite part is the fact that the mesh is very fine and holds the ideal humidity levels.
