pregnant jacksons

My female jacksons is pregnant. She has appropriate lighting and air quality and humidity. I do not know very much about her history except she was peeling from a light or sun burn when I got her for christmas. I took her to the vet and she checked out good at her physical last week except the burn peel. I combed her lightly with a very soft tooth brush to help her finish her peeling, per her dr. Now she keeps going to the bottom vines in her cage where its humid and only about 70°! I moved her once. Im nervous about the bottom of the cage deal. I just built a cover for half of her cage so the rest of the house would make her less nervous. Trying so hard to do everything right. What do you guys think?
 
This is just a guess.

Where did you get her? Captive bred or WC

She probably does not like being touched, looked at, or even discovered in her cage.
The handling is stressing her out and the last place she feel comfortable is the bottom of the cage. (just guessing because I have not witnessed her behavior prior to information today) :)
Can you post a picture? If she is dark in color she is stressed, if she is a light green she is not (unless you have a red jax).

JMO I would be more worried about her healing than the babies, because it take a lot of energy to heal. (Sorry, just my opinion)

To my understanding Jacksons have their babies high so they can stick or drop to assist the baby breaking through the membrane.

There is so much unknown info--- Sorry!
 
I dont know how to post a pic. Give me directions pls. She is green though. They bought her from a place called scales and tales -a retail place-obviously dont know what they are doing! The vet said the burn was pretty recent and from a desert type bulb or the sun. So so mad about it. I have cotton towels up around her to keep her humid as possible but plenty of healthy air and to keep from stressin on people and things. It has worked pretty well. I have only touched her for the light brushing in warm water. The dr said 3x so I did that only. Then when she went to the bottom I moved her once but left her alone and unseen the rest. The dr said water water water and humid humid humid. I have one of those reptile humidifiers and I spray in her cage as much as I can. I have the water dripping from humidifier on to plants all day. I turn everything off at night and our house is set at 71°
