Hi Shelly, I've got an adult female I've had about a year now and she does well on dusted crickets. I don't use UVB/UVA lights with her though. My set up is pretty much the same as yours except for that. Instead I use a regular incandescent light for the hot spot, which stays between 85-90 degrees. Temps throughout the rest of the tank run from there to about 70 in the cool side. Also, I don't use a UTH. Just overhead heat. Here's a shot of her from last fall.
