its only around 25 gallons so I would say that its only good for 2 geckos.

a 12x12x18 is too small for one adult gecko. the 18x18x18 would be good for one adult you could put 2 together in this cage for a short time during breeding season but not 2 adults full time. you cant keep a male in with females all the time anyways. you need to give the females time to rest.

you should still buy the 18x18x18 cage because your gecko needs the upgrade.

also i believe you should have at least 2 years experience with the species before you attempt to breed. i am still waiting to breed mine.

IF you want to end up having a breeder box in there and have them all be comfortable... not at all.
You can put a pair in there. But no more than that until you get a larger tank.
