A viv with a heatmat on the bottom will do the job.

With a larger viv you could maybe use a guarded Ceramic Bulb.

Statted of course.

A 2 foot viv would probably be the smallest for a long term vivarium.
You could use lightbulbs for the daytime if you wanted, you could also have an infa red bulb on at night time.
Be it to help with the heating or just for the light.

Anyway, you can go for a 2x2x2 VIV [prolly be ok a bit smaller in some dimesions] with a small say 17x10 or something [cant for the life of me think how the sizes come now]and a simple mat stat.
From there you can complicate it further if you choose.

Hi.
Im not sure.
I dont even know how big a baby tokay is but id assume itll be fine ina 2 foot viv as long as it is escape proof.
They will tuck themselves out of the way during the day for the most part anyway so just provide plenty of hiding places [easy with geckos that stick to the back of anything lol] and im pretty sure itll do well.

Better get the opinion of others though.

I think fairly busy is good as i dont think its gona spend a lot of time walking obn the viv floor if any atall.
At the same time a few little places all over top, middle ans bottom will do the job nicely.

erm... atleast I think so...they certainely dont tend to sit on the ground, although may remain quite low down but still on top [wedged behind] logs, rocks etc.

Tokay Geckos
Tokay Gecko Care Sheet
Tokay Gecko Care Sheet and Information - WNYHS
Tokay Gecko
Read these care sheets... what they agree on is prolly right... what differs will warrant further research.
