First off..I'm new here so hello! 8P


Ok, I'm about to buy a Tokay and am just about finished with the cage..I have some questions about it though. I read that heat rocks are a bad idea because Tokays don't spend much time on the ground and that they can overheat.
What do you guys think if I have it placed nice and sturdy high up on my drift wood branches? Also..The heating rock I have was pretty expensive and seems to be of very nice quality. (It also turns itself off once it hits a certain temp then resets when it cools to a certain point.) I also have a small Zoo Med Mini Repti-Therm UTH Under Tank Heater at the bottom of the tank coming in the mail. Do you think the two heat sources I have will keep a vertical 20 gallon tank around 85 degrees? Also, Do you this that this is an adequate sized tank for a Tokay? I read that you can keep one in a 10-20 gallon tank, But I just want some more opinions on this seeing they get so big.

I'll just list all the stuff I have in it and coming at the moment also so you folks can tell me if I need anything else.
