Default New to AFT's

I currently own leopard gecko's and I am thinking about buying a AFT. He is male, and I was just wondering how different a set up would be between a leo and an AFT. I know the humidity needs to be higher, but how high?
Can you keep them successfully on paper towels? What temps should they be? Should they have a hot side/cool side and belly heat?
Thanks everyone

Temperatures should be 75-80 degrees F on the cool end and 88-90 degrees F on the warm end (very similar to a leo). The best way to provide humity is to offer a plastic shoe box, half filled with moist peat or sphagnum moss and spray to keep it damp. Hope this helps

Thanks Rainbow Ben. It's nice to see more people on here from Great Britain, where are you from?
I have a hygrometer, and I was wondering what the actual humidity levels should be at.

Roughly about 60-70%. Just make sure the hide box is not too wet just damp and they will do just fine.
