"There is a mesh screen on the top of the vivarium but the holes in the screen are quite large so I hope that's OK?"

Nope, the UVB light must be 100% unobstructed

"I am going to order uromastyx dust, miner-Al supplement, and mazuri tortoise pellets as I can't buy them here. Also going to get a scale so we can monitor her weight."

The scale is a great idea, stay away from Uro dust. I (and others) have had poor results from using it and I will never use it again. MinerALL is ok though.


"Our daughter only takes her Mali out once per day for about 15 minutes and she is not stressed by us."

This is 15 minutes of stress. 15 minutes away from the proper heat source. 15 minutes of adding to the decline of the Uro. Please stop handling immediately until it gets into proper health.
