check out some of the care sheets. as far as tank size, a 20gal tall is minimum, bigger is always better though. they need more height than floor space. make sure that temps and humidity are good with these guys, if not they will stop eating. they need high humidity ~80%, high temp should be around 90-95. do you research and if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

google "Tokay Gecko care" or tokay gecko care sheets, you’ll find a bunch of stuff

look for tall tanks, 20 tall, or something like that. 10 gallons will NOT work out, unless they’re babies but there’s no point in getting a 10 and switching later. If you can’t find a tall tank, you can mod one on you’re own to work vertically (on it’s side, so the long way is up and down) if you’re willing to put a little crafting skill in.

some info is contradicting or just questionable on care sheets, personally i keep mine around 90 degrees, they say 85 on most care sheets but they seem to like it higher. night drop isn’t necessary, which some care sheets will lead you to believe.
