Question
hi i am getting a house gecko but, I can't find anything online and i have a 10 gallon tank.

What do i put at the bottom of the tank and inside the tank.   
Do I need a heat lamp  

Answer
Hello Myah,

The daytime temperatures need to be around 75 to 90 so you can use a low wattage basking light or a ceramic heat emitter to help with heating.  The nighttime temperatures can drop into the middle 70's.
The best thing to put on the bottom of the tank is non adhesive shelf liner, tiles, paper towels or felt lining.
