It's a gorgeous set up, but I think that it's too large and poses a lot of risk for injury from a fall. Personally, I would get rid of the gravel, put several more inches of coco, top soil. peat in there to raise the level of the substrate so that if she climbs and falls, she won't be injured.  I've found that for many of my Ts, larger enclosures mean more time to acclimate. In the wild, they have burrows and are used to small patches of "real estate". With an enclosure that size, it may take her a bit to find and use the burrow or simple to settle in.</blockquote>
