UPDATE:
We've named our girl Styx; pronounced like sticks because she was so brown and skinny when we got her, but spelled like the River of Styx from Greek myth because my boyfriend and I are nerds.
She is showing more greens everyday, and ate out of our hands for the first time yesterday! She doesn't like men, but is getting more and more comfortable every time we feed her. She's perked up a ton, and went from hiding in the bottom of the enclosure all the time to climbing all around and basking on the top branch whenever we leave the room. She has also gotten thicker, so we've switched to giving her 3 bugs every other day. I can tell she's gotten stronger because she's much more confident holding on to branches than she was before, and doesn't wobble/fall off nearly as much. She's quick, too!
Her UV and heat sits now 8 inches from the highest branch. We've been giving her calcium without D3 this whole month; I plan on giving her first dose of calcium with D3 at the end of November.
If I get a good photo I'll post here. Until then, thank you all so much for your help and advice; everything I've learned I've implemented and seen improvements because of it.
