Help! Newly purchased cam stressed

[Dbarton6505]

Hello! I'm Dave. My wife and I just bought a new piebold veiled cam and she seemed as happy as can be for the first day. The next day I made a hanging food tray for her to eat that wouldn't get sprayed on when the automatic mister c went off. Then I mistakenly tried to spray a couple plants with that "tropical mist" and now she's really dark color and just stays towards the top of the cage. I am posting a picture of her habitat as it sits now. Any help is greatly appreciated. I just want her to be happy. (We are adding more plants towards the mid section shortly)
