Check your calcium make sure it does not contain d3 and that your vitamins do. More live plants. Like something vertical with branches for her to climb and hide and sleep

I found out early with my veiled humidity is key, and mix up the diet, my Cham is spoiled and eats horn worms three times a week (good for hydrating and protein). Crickets are a good feeder but if possible look into some Dubai roachs. My guy tries to attack them before I get the cage opened. Calcium and vitamins are a major need and at my local reptile store here in Denver the guy has a female Jackson that he planted a hibiscus tree in her egg bucket. (Might be possible to start with a smaller hibiscus in yours)
