Getting a Tank

[Chase13]

Are arrival dates pretty guarenteed? (I can't spell that word to save my life) I have school and work, but I suppose if I knew what day they were coming, I could arrange to be home.

I'd love to know of some good breeders. List away!

On average, delivery is no less than 10:30 am and before noon. Usually, guarenties are only valid if someone is there to sign for the package, so shipping is ok as long as the temp isnt too cold. I draw my line at 40 F.

Temps here have been pretty mild, but they have been dipping pretty low. I'd love a list of breeders though. I get my tank today. A 30g. I have many of the things I'll need for the geckos already.

Do they need any special heating? I know they don't need UVB light, as far as I know, but if I do use a day lamp, I'm to go on a 12/12 cycle. Correct?

Wow, thanks. I have most of the stuff for the tank setup already. I have lamp, hides, paper towels, and water dish. Now all I need is the thermometers and such.

I just got the tank tonight. I'll have to get a new screen top for it, because the one it came with is made of screen that my cats could easily tear into. I'll need the heavy duty stuff like I have on my snake cage. Next step is getting all the materials together.

Well humidifier won't do me any good. My grandmother said it takes humidity out of the air.

Well I have some more of my supplies. Here is an updated list.

1 20g Long Tank
1 Tough Screen Lid
1 Half Circle wood hide
1 Small package of Sphagnum Moss
1 Shallow water dish
1 piece of tank carpet

Sounds good so far, you still will need

UTH(under tank heater)
small dish for calcium dish

otherwise then that looks like you got everything, Also If your planning on using the moss for the humid hide, I would reccomend rapping it in paper towels, I know some that lost a leo to impaction from moss . I use paper towels.
