Well, since no one chimed in on their recommendations and suggestions, other than the people at WER who have always been helpful offline via e-mail and instant messages, I went ahead and ordered the following items through HerpSupplies.com

Enclosure:
Tough Top Screen Cover w/ Center Hinge - 24"x12" Medium Mesh (1/8"/ 15G-20H Aquarium size
Tough Top "Spring-style" (G-shaped) Clips for Screen Covers - Small 2 pk

Lighting:
24" Combo Light, Fluorescent/Incandescent Strip Light - ESU Reptile
Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0, 24" Fluorescent (20 watt, T-12)
BrightLight Incandescent, 60 Watt - ESU Reptile
BrightLight Slimline Incandescent, 40 Watt - ESU Reptile
NightLight Slimline Incandescent, 15 Watt - ESU Reptile

Timer:
Digital Power Center, 8-Outlet Day/Night Timer - ESU Reptile

Gauges:
Analog Hygrometer (Humidity Gauge), Exo-Terra
Analog Thermometer, Exo-Terra

Supplements:
Rep-Cal Phosphorus-Free Calcium w/Vitamin D3, Ultrafine - 4.1 Oz
Miner-All I Miner-All Mineral Supplement - Indoor, 6 oz

This will all be used in my first attempt to raise my P. laticauda laticauda hatchling indoors. If all works well with this and I'm able to get other hatchlings through my WC females, I will raise them using regular fluorescents and supplementation as other veteran Phelsuma keepers have been doing so far. I now need to go out and get the 20 gallon high aquarium, bamboo poles, plants and some substrate.

Aloha,
