Does anyone know if tokays need any uv light? I read on a gecko website that they are nocturnal and need none.

Hello,
They are mostly nocturnal, yes. So, it is not required to use UVB. Some do use some low output UVB lights such as the Reptisun 5, just for a little bit of UVB, but they process calcium & D3 differently so as long as they get the powdered sources fairly often they will be fine without UVB.
So, it is entirely up to you.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
