For just an overhead light, a 60 Watt should be plenty. You should use a thermometer to check the temps.

this is kinda off topic of lizards but are you goign to be a specialist just for reptiles or all the animals in the store? if you are could you do me a favor and read up on parrot care and reptile care. those are the two types of animals people buy because they look cool or they talk and then the animal gets dropped into a shelter and gets bounced from home to home. i commend you for doing your research and making the attempt to give informative information to your customers, we need more people like you working in pet sotres.
here are some sites that i got my gecko information

Thanks, I'd assume I would care for all of them, but not sure yet...

The one thing I am so thrilled about was that the person who hired me told me not to sell an animal to a person who I ddn't think would take good care of it!
