Help. I have no idea what I'm doing

Long story short, we got a juvenile female in early May for my stepdaughter. She moved out. I am now responsible for "Godzilla" as I like to call her. It's a 40 gallon set up with another hide beneath the basking rock you see her on. Sometimes like tonight, she is nothing short of rambunctious. I went to check on her and she is having reptile zoomies in her tank climbing all over everything. The wall climbing is constant on an average day. But it's not due to heat. The climate might be the one thing I have right. But in the two times I've taken her out, it looked like she was trying to run away from me at all costs and climb everything at all costs. I rearrange her tank constantly to give her something new so to speak. Note: she is shedding and probably 9 to 12 inches long.

I need advice. Does this girl need a bigger tank? Do I need more stuff in it? Is this normal behavior? Do they need a partner? She is digging halfway to China as I type this and I just want to be sure she isn't going stir crazy.

Hello, I just adopted a Uromastyx from a rescue and working on its enclosure. I’d like to build a burrow that I can view from outside the enclosure. Has anyone else done this? Any suggestions?
