One small thing i would like to add! IF you decide to use a light please make sure its a red or i think blue light! Geckos cant see those colors so you wont have a stressed out gecko that has had light shineing on it all day or night etc. Geckos as you probablly know are nocturnal and the light shineing on them all the time will stress them out causing them to lose there apetite and all those fun related issues!

Although they dont need it an ultra violet bulb (a small wattage bulb would be enough depending on your tank) will be good for both heating the cool side if temps dip to low and you can have it on at night for night viewing then just turn it off when your done observing your gecko!

Good luck!
