Hey everyone.! Like the title says, I have a few things I'd like to ask. I have anyways wanted to get a leopard gecko...so when I save up enough money, I will start the search for one. Right now I have a crestie and a beardie 
I started to really look into the best setup for a little guy/gal,and I think I have the general idea of what to do,but I wanted to check with people who have them and can help me.
Things I am planning on getting:
20 gal tank
Either using paper towels or Repti-carpet
UTH (in which will be under half of the tank on the bottom)
2 hides (one on the hot side,as well as the on the cool side)
1 humid hide (using either paper towels or vermiculite)
1 water dish on the cool side
A capful of calcium
Night light over the UTH
That's what I've gotten so far. But I have a few questions..
I've seen people say that they should have another hide..one that is half off,half on the UTH,so that it's warm,and not too cold or hot..do I need to have one.? Should this be where the humid hide is.?
What is the best thing to put in the humid hide.? Paper towels or the vermiculite.? Again,I've seen people use both.
As for the calcium, does it need to be with or without d3.?
For the night light..I've once again seen people use them,and others don't...what is best.? Temps need to be around 90-95 on the hot side,and mid 80's on the cooler side.??
And for feeding, babies need to be fed everyday,adults every other day.? And is it twice a day with the babies,like with beardies.? Do the feeders need to be dusted with the multivitamin and calcium.?
Thank you thank you in advance to whoever replies.! I know it takes time to do that,and I apreciate that fully.!
