I think the temp is a tad low, mine does very well with a lot of humidity, and we have a naturally good (if not too hot) temperature, being as we live in a very arid and hot place in Cal. (I think 75-90 degrees is recommended)? I don't handle mine (but to each his/her own)My Avic avic. takes her crickets from the tongs, VERY ferociously! She's otherwise very gentle. I've tried cockroaches, and she just did not pay any attention to them. Mine loved superworms, I think it's the fact that they move a lot, AND maybe you could try that, off the tongs (or they will bury themselves quickly into the substrate. But just to get her to eat and then fatten her up. Not as a staple diet. Also, I'd use a few more inches of substrate, 2-3, so you can dampen it to increase humidity, along with a large water bowl. Mostly, I would not be so sure it doesn't have a mite infection! Although the treatment is difficult, look up "candy-dish" and how to treat mites on her. They could be hiding in her leg joints, book lungs, who knows. Good luck!

Your set-up looks good (Avics don't need hides though, just leafy plants, as you have, stuff to climb on.) and, your T looks better, I believe she/he is eating! I don't always find the bolus either, but I notice you have what looks like moss on the boto, know wonder!. Don't worry, looks fine!
