frog eyed gecko help!!!!

i am purchasing a frog eyed gecko and when i sent the seller this list they told me that this was fine for it
1.ten gallon aquarium
2.eight inches of sand
3.shallow water dish
4.a hide
5.a rock
6.small crickets
7.calcium and vitamin powder
8.heat lamp 60 watt
9. screen lid
i was told by a few care sheets that i will need a pvc pipe to alow water to the bottom so that the gecko can burrow which i am going to get one.
i just wanted to know if anybody out there had any more suggestions on things to buy to keep the little guy happy?:?

I had a M/F pair of these for around a year along time ago. This is how I had mine set-up.

20gal long tank w/screen lid
5-6'' of sand on one end sloped to around 1''
Med. sized heat pad on the 1" side
A small rubbermaid with a hole in it was buried in the sand on the deep end,
and a piece of drift wood was on the 1" side.
I fed mine dusted Crix2-3x a week, meal worms/wax worms every now and then.

Mine were very nocturnal, If they tell you to get a light/basking light dont its a waste unless you put in a nighttime bulb and that would be for your enjoyment really. Mine were sold to me as Tetrosincus Tetrosincus but werent, deffinately a frogeyed but they had very tiny smooth scales and didnt match any pics I was able to find. Sold them at a Reptile show for 150pr, kind of wish i hadnt they were cool and might've been a rarer form of the genus. Anyways have fun and post some pics of the set-up when you get it!

yep i saw a pic of that one, not it very similar though. Same scales different pattern, wish i had taken a pic.

Have fun with them there cool, most likely WC so a trip to the vet for a fecal wouldnt hurt anything.
