ok.........but if i go with the reptaruium should i still add plastic plants for him to climb......one more question do tokay need a water bowl to soak in
No they do not need anything to soak in. If he is having trouble shedding then just increase the humiditylarge_cichlids;634456; said:
they do require regular misting though, to keep their skin moist and to give them droplets of water to drink 
, i've found that tokays do best with hanging water dishes anything you can suction to the side of the tank works good, they dont need to soak but they need to be able to get a drink!

While extra space is always welcome, its hard to achieve high humidity in those reptariums, as moisture easily escapes thru the screen. Many people get around this issue by wrapping plastic lining around most of the cage, trapping much of the humidity. You can also buy extra of those liners they sell just for the reptariums and put them over multiple sides of the cage.
