I would put a big waterbowl, 1 that she can submerge herself in fully, a few sturdy thick logs, this helps with exercise, climbing, keeps them occupied and keeps nails from being razorsharp, (good for you when handling)

I would also make the basking spot out of a rock, with possibly a hide underneath, this will maximise your viv space and the rock will hold heat after 'lights out' this copies there natural environment . . . which is great!

Create the substrate with a 70% moss peat 20% play sand and 10% spaghnum moss, this will keep humidity around 60% if sprayed every 2-3 days and is great fold holding and burrow, make the substrate depth a minimum of 12"

Not really much you can put in a varanus Viv to make it look pretty without them trashing it!
