Definitely read through Dr. Del's link to the site caresheet. The primary two pieces that I would recommend adjusting are to ditch the heat light for a heat mat with a thermostat (it's coldest at night when the light needs to be turned off, anyway) and get a warm-side hide (you don't want her to have to choose between heat and security). Heat lights/CHEs are really only needed if your ambient temperatures are low, which yours isn't. The heat mat will provide a "hot spot" that gives her a temperature gradient for digestion, etc. However, you absolutely need a thermostat or dimmer (rheostat) to control the heat mat from getting too hot. I recommend the Ultratherm heat pad from Reptile Basics.
And Welcome!
