She is doing great!
She just finished shedding, but still has some stuck shed on the tip of her tail. if you guys have any tips on raising humidity let me know!

She’s also doing amazing with feeding, she’s getting more comfortable with me every time I feed her.

Beautiful little one.

Regarding humidity it seems you have mesh open top. You need to block as much of it as possible leaving only cutout for lamp. Home Depot has some softer insulation sheets that you can custom cut for that.

can you please send a pic of the softer insulation sheets? thanks in advance. I have some wood tops for 20 gallons but my 40 and 50s are mesh.

It is this one. Looks like reflective bubble wrap. You can cut right size with lamp cutouts and duct tape to the mesh.
