Nice viv, bit large, if to large can make them feel insecure whilst they are babies, UV in my view would be better across the top with a reflector , even if it is in diagonally. What strength is it?

Personally I would downsize the whole set up to a terrarium about 45x45x45 max for the first few months, or even smaller than that.
A 30x30x30 even.

I do honestly think that would be a good move. UV strength is spot on for a Yemen. See in a large viv babies can easily forgot their routes back an forth and this causes them stress, and to big a viv can cause stress due to insecurity. They can also find it hard to hunt for food, although you give yours in a bowl.

Remember though good gutloading of insects and good fresh food for insects including salad etc.
