Your going to want to remove all the fake plants and add live plants and a linear uvb

She has 2 uvb lights and 2 heat lamps stores are out of the T5HO. She has 2 live plants the fake ones are until I can find more climbing things for her

Okay as soon as the stores are in stock with linear get them because the compact uvb doesn’t penetrate deep enough

UVB lighting can be ordered online as well. Most stores do not carry the T5 fixtures. Pangea reptile is an online seller you can order from. 2 heat lamps seems excessive to me.

I agree with Beman, what’s the temps that the two heat lamps are creating

I have seen improvements with her since buying the screened cage vs the glass one. physically she moves around a lot more she is staying hydrated. I also got her a variety of foods such as wax worms, super worms, Dubai roaches, and crickets. Typically she was only eating crickets and wax worms when the store was out of crickets. I give her wax worms as treats versus staple feeding, super worms twice a week crickets and Dubai’s daily about 5 of each. She is currently about 4 months old I believe. Purchased her from pets mart and they couldn’t tell me

This is wonderful. Make sure that you get the correct UVB lighting though. Compact bulbs are not effective in preventing MBD. You need a T5HO fixture and a 5.0 UVB bulb and you want the branch to be 8-9 inches below the fixture for the correct UVI level. With her being female preventing MBD with the correct supplementation and UVB lighting is extremely important. MBD in females is particularly dangerous due to them laying eggs. So this is one aspect of husbandry that has to be spot on from the beginning.
