Like @Beman said she dose look a little on the hefty side also doesn’t look dehydrated. And where are her horizontal branches? And do you have a lay bin for her?

Switching from a T5 to a T8 won’t matter if you can figure out your UVI readings. Both zoomed and Arcadia have charts that can help you getting a starting point. But the best option is to have a uvb meter such as a Solormeter 6.5r. As for your house bulb you need to check your temperatures after...

What are your UVI readings? A T5 in a open bin no screen could be very harmful if not at the right distance.

Shipping usually only a couple of days for crickets. So I would order them a few days before you know that your new baby is going to be shipped. This way you will have a day or 2 to gutload them.

Ok so it is Easter Sunday so hence why not too many people are active. Bugs just like in the wild are every where the only concern I would have would be ants. Otherwise the material should be be fine you are just using it as a barrier so make sure there are lots of climbing branches or live tree...

Good luck with that not happening! You can try a different feeder like silkworm or Dubia roaches. They are very slow moving and don’t jump.

Poor girl you said you have a lay bin in the cage. But dose she have her privacy so that she will feel safe from everything? Also have you tried other methods for lay bins such as the trash can idea use a regular size garbage can with her soil. What are you using for her soil? I would try these...

Not sure what size cage you have now but her is a recommendation for a cage https://dragonstrand.com/ For lighting you can go with a Zoomed T5 HO or Acadia 6%

Based on the pic not much to go bye. But is there anything new happening. Like maybe a dog, cat or bird or maybe even more than usual foot traffic.

He probably feels very exposed. You need some foliage to help him feel comfortable.

I would add a few more plants at least 3 more. And for enclosing some of the sides you can try this out. It’s worked perfect for me. https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/alternate-clearside-diy.168320/
