Can someone tell me if this is normal feeding behavior?

Thank you for responding to my questions. I am trying to learn.

I was thinking of a basic cross of leafless vines to give the animal access to all sides, and then maybe some leafed vines around the outside to give her a sense of privacy...but, there is a laying bin in there now, so the geography has changed...I'd still lean toward leafless vines in the center, leafed around the edges, with, perhaps, leafed vines edging the laying bin.

Also if you are going to take her to the vets maybe get a feacal test done for parasites.
My little one Missy used to turn very dark when eating and i lost her a month later to a misdiagnosed worm infestation.Not trying to put the frighteners on or saying it is,just as a precautionary measure.
My male Mista we believe had a start of MBD as a baby but the right supplements stopped it going any further and he is as strong as can be now.
Personally i don't use any substrate on the floor of my enclosure,but i do have horizontal bamboo canes of varying sizes so if he does want t catch the odd feeder that is lower he has the choice.
I also would be inclined to let her eat more at the moment,i know people limit their females as they get older and i'm sure people with more experience with females will advise you soon.
I had Mista in a 10 gallon flexi until he was 5 months old and then moved him to a 100gallon which he loves(in hindsight i would have done it in stages as he was scared of the vast size at first,he took about two weeks to get used to it)
i certainly wouldn't suggest that you are dong anything wrong or jump down your throat for asking for help,after all thats why most of us are here for
Good luck and i hope she settles and you find a definitive reason.

The only reason why i would suggest not keeping her in an aquarium is because the ventilation and air flow aren't exactly the best. I would suggest one of those exo Terra/zoo med terrariums so that she has airflow.

By the way, Eliza Turning a 10-20 gallon on it's side wouldn't work because the UVB would have to be placed on the side where the screen is and that might just stress her out more.

They are located in NY and it is helping them with humidity, there is enough air flow.

That's a good point. Thanks.

Update on the situation here. She seems to go to the bottom around the same time since she's done this. She goes down in the afternoon and then later on in the day goes back onto the plant. The afternoon is when she gets fed most often because that's when I come home from classes. Could it be that she knows this and just wants to eat? Maybe I'm looking into this too much or something. She seems very capable of climbing and doesn't fall off at all.
