I am going to use peat moss on the floor with a zooped waterfall in the corner and quite a bit of drift wood for it to hide in and also so mini palms for decoration.
What sort of heating ??

My advice is to keep things as simple as possible. An elaborate setup might look nice, but it's much easier to work with simplicity. I'd use sand and a hide, preferable an upside down terracotta pot or similar, rather than a flat rock or piece of wood. The more elaborate the setup, the more easily the feed insects can escape, the more difficult to clean etc. A 2ft enclosure is ideal. Floor heat is probably easiest and is what most gecko keepers use, myself included.
As Sherman said, be careful about them escaping. Many people keep them in open topped enclosures because "they can't climb". If I had $1 for every thick tail escape from an open topped cage I know of I'd be a rich ma...... well, I could afford a nice lunch
The usual disclaimer: this is just what I'd do, others will disagree, feel free to disregard what I've said.
