I would dump the cage carpet and just use paper towels to save some money. If you do stick with the carpet get 2 pieces so you can just swith them out when you need to clean them.

You will need some sort of temperature control device for your heat source. An inline dimmer from home depot should work. You just plug the heat pad into it and then into the wall.

You should have at least 2 hides but 3 is better. ( 1 cool dry, 1 warm dry, and 1 warm moist) I would just use a few overturned plant pot bases for the dry hides and then a butter bowl or disposible gladware container for the moist hide. These would be cheaper than one of those logs. Also the pot bases should feel more secure to the gecko since it is not open on both ends.

Also don't forget a calcium dish and water dish. But I would just use something like a spaghetti sauce jar lid for calcium and a peanut butter lid for water. Oh a a food dish if you plan on feeding mealworms.

Whatever you do I would try to keep it simple at first. Then, if you want, you can slowly buy things that look better once you feel you have a handle on things like temperature control and stuff.
