Default How should I set up my Panther Gecko cage?

Ok, so after research, I know a bit about the things to use and the things not to use in my future panther gecko cage...

1. I heard about not using sand because it kills the geckos by impactment? Or something like that. So what should I use? I've hear good reviews about coconut shavings or something soft like that. Any suggestions?

2. I really don't know what do to about the heating lights. I get so confused. How should I set all of that stuff up to keep the right temperatures and the hot and cool spots?

3. And I read that you shouldn't use heating rocks, but it's ok to use heating pads... I'm not so sure if it's true or not, so any help?

Sorry for the long post, I just want to know everything I should so I can properly take care of my soon to be new gecko. Thanks! ;D

Hermit crab heat pads are great. News paper makes a good substrate and you can use lids off meal worm or wax worm containers for water and calcium dishes. Sometimes if you go to reptile shows, people sell used equipment like 10 gallone aquariums and lids.
