 How does this setup sound?

I am planning on getting a Tokay gecko. here is my idea for the tank setup: a 29gallon tall aquarium with a tight fitting metal screen top. then on the back side and the two sides i plan to make another foam background covered with grout, hopefully this will add some security. the substrate i plan on using is bed-a-beast, but any other suggestions are welcome. then in one of the back corners i get a photos plant and get it growing on the background. add a half log for a hide, a water bowl to keep up the humidity, and a lot more plants to provide climbing and hiding space, then throw in some driftwood and a few of those artificial flexible vines. then maybe some moss on the bottom. and of coarse all the heating and lighting needed for the Tokay’s and the plants. am I missing anything? does some of that not sound like it will work? (Oh yea I plan on getting a dripper so it can drink) I no there no much for handling (at all) but i think it will be great to see, out at night exploring around the cage.
Thanks in advance

P.S. Apparently females are hard to find but would that cage be enough for a Male and a female or not?

30 gal tall should be fine.
I have two males in mine, they do fine. So much room it’s almost impossible to find them sometimes without moving stuff around. I wouldn’t imagine it being any different for a male and female
