You can find this information easily on a bunch of websites-
First and foremost, mice are going to get expensive (and are full of fat) and aren't necessary. Live crickets, mealworms, superworms, very light on the waxworms (fatty as well-optional) and make sure they are either gut loaded or calcium (without vitamin d3) dusted at least. Crickets are the easiest for them to digest.
The warm side of the enclosure is no hotter than 86-90. They usually don't need a basking light- none of mine do. I only have a heat pad under the substrate that works fine.
I use coconut fiber (Eco Earth) but paper towels are just as good.
If you're serious about owning reptiles, you need to research before you buy- some require UV lighting and special diets. Leopard geckos are easy and live for long amounts of time but you have to do it right. Just google leopard geckos or leopard gecko care and you'll find numerous sources.
