I don't know about that, but if thats your cage it looks pretty barren. You need branches that go much higher she shouldn't be hanging on the top like that. And a lot more foliage. If you are really worried, fill this out:

I use fishing lines tied through the screen to hold vines and fake plants, plus I use live and potted plants for my animals enclosures!

You still need much more. You want branches all the way up and front and back. She should be able to use all of the available space. Also, what is that bowl for? How are you getting her water?

she was digging at the bottom of the cage so people at a reptile store told me to put a bucket of dirt in her cage. and i mist her s few times a day.
