I will soon have an empty 30 gallon and i want to get a tokay. I have researched and know they don't need UVB, that they like crikcets and other live foods, and their substrate and environment requirements. Here are my questions:





How do you guys keep up your humidity? I have a small pump and hose and I was planing on making a system to spray water into the tank, a sort of misting system. Do you guys have any tips on how to make a misting system?





How do they drink? Will they drink from droplets formed by the misting system I mentioned?





For heating, what do you guys use? I wanted to put a light on them at night, for night viewing. Are the black-colored lights better or the red ones? What kind of thermostats, rheostats do you use? How do you manage the nightime temp drop?



What thermometers and hygrometers should i get? Is the flukers one good, or should i get a different one? I am going for cheap here.





Do they prefer a vertical or horizontal branch? Do they prefer thicker branches or thinner ones?





Also, i was thinking of using one of those weaved finch houses as the arboreal hide. will that work?





Thanks. I know this is a lot, but I want to be thorough.
