I have my two peacock day geckos and a flying gecko in my 37gallon(12Wx23Hx30"L) I was originally planning on putting my terribilis in there as well, but if any of the animals breed, the offspring would probably become lunch. So I keep them separate. As far as the gecko's needs, basking spot? Yes, Drying out? Not really. I have a 70W halide over the screened part of the top, towards the end of the tank the basking spot, which they hardly leave for more than a minute, averages about 90 degrees. On the other end, which is covered with glass the temps stay in the high 70's during the day. Humidity for the whole tank stays around 80%.
You're tank is much larger, and would allow even more temp and humidity gradients.

how i check my tank? well i stick my big toe in the 37 for about a minute and if it comes out wet i guess it's about 80% humidity...and if my toe isn't purple from the cold that is a plus...JUST kidding :twisted: we use basic pet store digital and standard gauges.

well not saying it is right for all amphibians &/or lizards, but it really seems to be a happy set-up for our geckos being 1 is nocturnal and the other 2 are not.
when the peacocks need time away they just climb behind the cork bark and chill.
the flying gecko is small enough to eat the same sized food our peacocks do.
peacock day geckos turn a brownish color when stressed and ours are just brilliant green with envy. :lol:
