She looks ok from the pictures from what I can tell..She is young right? What are you feeding and how often are you feeding?? As babies they should be fed 3 times a day what they can eat in 15 min.
Not sure if you are aware of this but colored lighting of any kind is harmful to their eyes over time as it doesn't allow their pupils to constrict and dilate properly. If your using it for heat you should be getting enough heat from your basking bulb that should be overlapping with your UVB bulb. Nighttime temps would be your area of concern for heat but as long as they don't drop below 65F you are fine as they need the cool down with no lighting on at all.

I see your using taptalk so you won't see the links that are below my comments but if you go into the general care section there are posts at the very top about Information for new comers.. you should take a look there as we have put together a ton of info that you may find helpful for food suggestions, lighting, temps and more.

Ok thank you! And I've been feeding her 3 days a week. Monday Wednesday and Friday. I feed her in the morning, sometimes she will eat, sometimes she won't. And I try to feed her 3 times a day but she only eats once, with occasionally eating again. Occording with the breeders we got them from, she is around 2 yrs old.

What is your enclosure like? temps? lighting? what are you feeding?

I know she seems too young to me but the breeder said she's older, along with her other siblings. She is about 10 inches head to tail. Her viv is about 1.5 × 6 feet.

She has been currently fed mealworms, crickets, and kale (greens).

Ok so the first few pictures are those current ones or previous ones? She looks bigger in the tank in the last picture.. what are you using for UVB?
I would not feed mealworms as they contain chitlin in their shells making them hard to digest, Kale shouldn't be the only green being fed as it's an occasional to be fed item but if paired with collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, dandelion greens it's ok.. kale just isn't a solid nutritional green alone.
have you thought of other bugs? Dubia roaches are amazing and 1 = 6 crickets nutritional wise, superworms, silkworms, BSFL, are all great feeders

She may not be eating alot because of her lighting situation
