That looks much better. You really don't need that bowl of water in there and it would be best to set up a dripper that runs all day along with the mistings so she gets plenty of water. You still need to have a laying bin in her cage at all times. Are you planning on replacing those coil bulbs? If not, you are going to more than likely have serious eye issues. Go ahead and turn them off till you replace them like asap. Since the screen is so dense, I think a Reptisun 10.0 UVB tubular bulb makes the most sense. You can get the fixture at lowes and order the bulb online from one of our sponsors (it's cheaper).

looks 'better' lol but please put some more plants in there... head to Home Depot and check out the small ficus trees for like $5-9. Sometimes they have Scheflera around that price. I think they come in 4" or 6" pots. If you put a 6500K lamp over them, they will fill out the cage nicely. HD should have 6500K CFL lamps. I know Lowe's does. Purchase a 5.5" clip light.. or the 8.5" clip light and place it at the top along side of your UVB and heat lamp.

I would also look into getting rid of that branch.. it seems rather large for her feet. You can buy either the pet store vines, soaker hose or that foam plant wire. You can also just pick up some sticks from outside and use them as well.

Edit: wait... your using CFL lamps? What brand and output rating? Don't get the 10.0 linear tube.. that screen is not dense. Looks like normal window screen to me. When I was talking about the 6500K lamps... if you get teh 6500K CFLs from Lowe's, you can use them in that hood you have. I would get the 13w (60w) and put them in CFL hood you already have. Then place the linear lamp along side and then your heat lamp. lol seems like a lot of lights..... but your cage will be bright and your cham will be happier and so will your plants.

No need to be so harsh Kevin, it is better than before and yes there is room for improvement. The poor guy just got rooked by the pet store for pete sakes.
