Hey, Veiled.

You can use a Heat lamp or a UTH(Under Tank Heater_, or even both. If you decide to use both then you should use a lower wattage bulb, like a 25 Watt. If you decide to use a Heat Lamp on it's own, then a 60-75 Watt bulb will do, depending on the over all room temperature. Paper Towel is a great substrate for Leopard Geckos. A humid hide is easily made with a Rubbermaid® Food Container-- Just cut a hole in the side that is about 2" X 2" and fill it with either moist papertowel or moist moss(The kind you get at the pet store). Take care.

Well, the general rule of thumb is 1 Leopard Gecko per 10 gallons. Alot of people would agree with me on that one. If you would like to read a detailed caresheet, you can visit my here.
Take care.
