I'd be very surprised if any Senegal at a show was cb. They come from a fairly broad range in the wild so knowing exactly what climate she is from is almost impossible. Anyway, she's lucky she found you and laid that huge clutch safely! I don't find fountains are much use for chams. They don't raise the cage humidity all that well, need constant cleaning, and frankly look weird. Foggers and spraying for humidity work better and add a dripper for direct drinking. Some chams stop using drippers for unknown reasons even if they used to drink from them. I lost my first veiled that way. He used the dripper well when he was a juvie and I was living in a fairly humid house. But, he stopped drinking directly from the dripper at about 1 year old. I had moved into a house with central AC too. I didn't realize how dry it was (cheapo pet store analog humidity gauge) it until he ended up with an impaction due to long term low level dehydration. It seems so stupid looking back on it now.
