20 gallon long is pretty much the minimum for that size group, bigger is always better...
Other supplies:
-Light lamp with red bulb for night viewing if you wish
-Under tank heater and some way to regulate heat, such as a thermometer and dimmer switch or a thermostat...
-Thermometer and uh device to measure humidity, digital preferred
-Substrate, paper towels is preferred, granular substances can get swallowed and cause lots of problems... people will argue sand and stuff are fine, but why take the chance?
-Food, water and calcium... Need live feeder insects, crickets and mealworms are the norm, feed them to your guys covered in a dust, such as T-rex leopard dust. Provide a water dish. And a calcium dish for them to lick, not necessary if you dust your insects with T-rex... Will also need a vitamin supplement if you don't use t-rex dust. Also make sure to feed feeder insects (gutload) about 24 hours before hand so they pass more nutrition onto your animals
-Hides, in a perfect tank you have, one dry hide at each side, and a humid hide near the warm side. Humid hide is usually like a cool whip/margerine container with a damp paper towel or moss I believe (I don't use moss)
A screen cover is also a good idea, just incase
