For the first part about the mites its really hard to tell without a picture. But they shouldn't be left in there clean out the entire enclosure with a 1/10 bleach water solution when you see them or once ever month when you don't with spot cleaning.
The optimal cage for one leopard gecko is 20 gallon long to account for better temperature gradient and enough hides.
There should be at least 3 hides in the tank: one hide on the cool side, one on the "hot" side and a humid hide which will help with shedding.
For proper lighting use a uvb 5.0 tube light. For heat use a uth (under tank heater) with a dimmer to help control the temp.
If you have any more questions feel free to email me, Deathshand16@yahoo.com.

No, you may desire to no longer homestead Leopard Gecko's mutually. they are solitary creatures and could grow to be very under pressure from being housed mutually - which will reason urge for nutrition loss, weight-loss, lethargy, then dying. in addition they're going to combat for the superb hiding spot, warmth source, territory, and countless different issues... those fights often bring about a single or the two Gecko's having intense injuries or perhaps dying. upload: ask your self this, is it rather well worth risking the existence of your Leopard Gecko's purely so which you will homestead them mutually?
