So happy for you, what does the enclosure look like? I’m sure you did amazing!
Ok so I hate to be the barer of bad news hun. But this will not work for her. This will not provide the air circulation she needs because it is just a large aquarium. If you want to go with glass then it needs to be an exo terra terrarium. Otherwise it needs to be a screen enclosure. Also I am not seeing the T5HO light fixture for her UVB. This is extremely important at this stage. She needs it to grow strong bones. You have this ordered correct but it does not come until next week?

Ahh you cute thing I debated to tag you or just do this myself lol
We are better when we are helping.
Ok well this one is not going to last long. You will have to really really watch your temps because it will become a hot box for her. If she is only 2 months you should not need to put much if any heat on her. But I would say you have maybe a month before you have to get her into a better cage hun. Otherwise your looking at respiratory issues with the one you have.
If you need help we are here to help. If you fill out the help form that was posted that is the quickest way for us to see if there are any areas we can provide additional support on
