Ok get lots of live plants, umbrella plans, spider plants, dragon plants. You also want to have virtical branches.
I believe the 18x18x24 cage is big enough but it wont hurt to go bigger
your heat is to hot use a 40watt to 60watt house bulb.. You want basking temps to be 80 degrees and the rest of the cage 70ish.
You need to dust your crickets with calicium w/o d3, calcium w/d3, and a mulitvitamin.
MON-FRI--calcium w/o d3
SAT-- Nothing
SUN-- alternate calcium w/d3 and a mulitvitamin

A digital thermometer and a digital hydrometer would take the readings for you.
Its really important that you know your temperatures. You could end up cooking your Cham (which is more easily done in an exo)
Depending on the size of the feeder my Peanut (female veiled, roughly the same age as your girl) gets 4, every other day. She could eat more but its not considered healthy and can produces larger clutch sizes.
