Heating/Lighting for Tokay enclosure?

[mmyers80]

Hi,

I am in the process of determining the best way to create a permanent setup for a couple of newly acquired tokays.

I am considering standing a 50 gallon on its side and having a screen front, and was wondering what folks do for lighting/heating in that case, as opposed to the traditional screen on top.

My other thought is just using a 29 tall for now, which would be an easy fix.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Use Heat tape on the back and one side of the enclosure. You don't need any lighting for a tokay enclosure as they are nocturnal.
