-Digital thermometer with probe

tell me if there is something i have missed and i'll add it. but i think this will make a healthy and happy life for a gecko, don't you think? and also, in a 20 gallon long tank, will 1 sheet of reptile carpet be wide enough for it? or will i have to buy 2? thanks for any answers!

Yeah i forgot to add, i AM also getting driftwood to climb on and the reptile carpet i am getting is made by ZILLA, i don't know if that matters but whatevs
hey 
Every thing looks looks fine except for your heating. Sunglo bulbs are harmful for your leos eyes, and they are nocturnal, so they do not require a bright light. Instead, opt for a 50W red only for day time....
-Heat pad 24/7
-50W red day time
Leos are not basking reptiles like bearded dragons or snakes, keep that in mind.
- The calcium can be pretty confusing. Make sure to get one with D3, and one without D3. The one withOUT D3 should be in a small dish in the cage at all times. Dust crickets WITH D3 every other feeding. Leos can get sick or die from D3 overdose! D:
- Its a bit odd, but the standard carpets from the pet store usually do not come in 20G. but they do come in 29, which is $9.99 at my petsmart, and it fits the cage perfectly. If they dont have 29, its better go up in size and trim it down rather than to have to layer them in the cage.
- Like the other user mentioned, a humidity gauge would be nice, but it is not that important. As long as you have a nice humid hide and a water dish, it shoudl be good enough...
- Make sure the driftwood is as wide as his body to prevent injury
Good luck with your new leo...
