Velvet gecko tank setup

[joseph_f]

I was wondering if anyone could show me a diagram of how the tank should be setup and where the thermostat and the lights should be placed. I was also wondering how many hides I would need for a couple of velvet geckos.

Really best to know which type you're getting first. There are some differences.

I was thinking about get marbled velvet geckos or ocellated velvet gecko as there are some for sale close to where I live.

Can you give the Latin, just to be certain? There are a great many "velvet gecko" species.
