So currently I have my leopard gecko in the 10 gal tank that I bought for it when it was a baby but I now have a 60 gal tank that was gave to me and so im looking for some inspiration from other peoples large tanks because online I only see 10 or 20 gal tank layouts. Oh and I'm wondering what size of heat mat I need? Thank you

Want to aim for atleast 1/3 of the tank being covered in heat mat. I started using heat tape, and I am a big fan of them. They come in different sizes and are more affordable than regular UTH
Heat tape? Is that something I can get from Walmart or Lowe's?

I buy from reptile basics, whats the size of your tank? Length and width
It is 48x18 3/4.

Something like this would be good for 1/3 the tank size
or two
Zoo Med 50 to 60 Gallon Heat Pad
Made of heavy bonded vinyl, these heaters operate at 20 degrees above room temperature, ensuring a safe climate for reptiles. Protected by a thermal cut out in case of overheating, under tank heaters will not burn or shock.
Another option would be heat rope / heat cable. which you could customize to pick your hot spots
