Click on the links up in "Forum Sponsers" and most sites have caresheets. Also I have a caresheet on my site (link in sig).

I have all my leopard geckos in 10 gallon tanks and believe me I know what you mean about low tank space. I kept one of my baby beardies and I really have no room for its tank when its fully grown lol. As far as heat goes I use under the tank heaters on all my tanks since they need belly heat to digest their food and I feed mine mealworms so they really need the belly heat to digest the hard shells. Its also a big debate about what to keep your leo's on but I kept mine on sand until my male started to eat it so I found that padded shelf liner is actually cleaner and mine seem to like it a lot better than sand plus I don't have to worry about sand sticking to everything if their water dishes spring a leak and flood their tanks and yes this did happen to me. If you have anymore questions just ask.
