move her into her new viv

The info is becoming contradictory.
1) She hasn't been handled at all since we moved the egg-laying bucket in on Wednesday. We quit giving her the calcium drops as recommended here.
2) I took the last set of pics when I fed & misted her, so hopefully that was less disruptive than multiple invasions.
3) Since taking the last set of pics, the only time I've even looked at her has been when I gave her crickets and/or misted her, i.e., morning, noon, night.
I would like to disturb her even less, but while she has a dripper system for water, she doesn't have an automatic mister, and we don't have the $$ to buy one yet. Considering that I had no intention of ever having a cham until one week ago when the family begged us to take her, and considering that I told them then I couldn't afford much more than new lights (I specified about $50), and considering that we have now spent over $200 on her in the past week and had to put it all on credit . . .
My feeling at this point is that waiting through the weekend before making any further changes so she can settle down might be a good plan. My DH has to build a base for the new screen enclosure before we can move her into it anyway. I'll nudge him to get that done this afternoon (he has work-related work to do this morning, and I have a street cleanup to do).
After the weekend, if she hasn't laid her eggs, I'm
considering taking her to the vet . . . she definitely appears to be doing better, but the not laying worries me.
