Default williamsi on the way

I have a trio of L. williamsi on the way next week.

I have experience with small anoles and house geckos, and with leopard geckos, but these will be my first diurnal 'day geckos'.

I'll be feeding primarily mini-mealworms and woodlice, with occasional 1/8 crickets, and Repashy crested gecko diet. I may also use giant flightless fruit flies. I'll be culturing springtails and flightless fruit flies as well in hopes these guys will breed for us. (I can't breed crickets in my current home, so the woodlice seemed like a good alternative). I have Miner-All for supplementation. Should I add a vitamin, or is gut-loading the feeders sufficient?

I'm planning to quarantine them in a tall sterilite bin with a UVB light, soil substrate, and sticks and cardboard for cover, with regular misting. The bin will be treated with Provent-A-Mite. I will be shotgunning them with panacur and flagyl, unless my vet thinks he can find something in such a tiny fecal sample. Once through treatment, they'll be transferred to the planted viv. I have a simple mister at the moment, but a Repti-Fogger is on the way.

Viv temps drop to 73-75 without the light, and 80 to 85 a few inches from the light during the day, usually around 82-83. Humidity fluctuates between 50 and 75%, rising after misting of course.

Does this sound right to everyone? Do I need supplemental heat to boost the daytime temps a bit?
