Baby western Hermann's has arrived - in love!

After my last minute enclosure questions at the weekend, we picked up our little western Hermann's today! She's from a rescue centre a few hour's drive away - they'd taken in a small breeding group after the owner died, including unhatched eggs, and she was one of those hatchlings.
I'm in love! Gave her a soak as soon as we got home and she had a drink (and a poop!) and then she happily tucked into some weeds from the garden straight away - plantain, dandelions, speedwell, clover and herb robert, and a bit of geranium flower. She ate the lot - I'm amazed she seems to relaxed so quickly, I was expecting a few days of her hiding away and not eating. So grateful for the plant guide here, thank you.
As I'm definitely going to be asking loads more questions in the months to come, only fair I share some pictures right?! Enclosure's a bit bare at the moment but I'm going to add some rocks and plants in a few days.
