Looks pretty good. The pyramiding is not bad. Its about time to start going bigger on the enclosure. Be careful if you start changing conditions in there. Dampness in an open table like that will lead to a lot of evaporation which leads to a lot of coolness which can lead to a respiratory infection. I don't see any night heat in there, so watch your temps closely. Cool nights in a dry enclosure are usually tolerable. Cool nights in a damp enclosure might be a problem.

She looks real pretty. She's at the age of growing now, so you should be planning on a bigger enclosure or more outside time. Follow Tom's advice and watch the night temps. lows in the 70's aren't bad, but lower gets chilly for them at that age. I use black lights in my adult's enclosure hide because they like to sleep in there and it stays nice and warm. Others use CHE fixtures. Sounds like you are doing a fine job raising her.
