and what equipment would i need. i have made a list does this sound ok.

a substrate,heat mat(with thermostate), water bowl, hide's, a simple light(not a heat lamp), disinfectant, vitimins and calcium, and somethinng to climb and play on,food and bowl and last but not leas a gecko..........

does this sound ok

only 2 things missing a thermometer
and some moss for the moist hide

[tryme]

Or moist paper towels will work fine

Are we guessing that this is a leopard gecko?

If so, make sure the climbing apparatus can stay low to the ground. And make sure your heat mat is half the size of your viv

Other than all above. yeah it sounds great! Post some pics if you can when your done!
