You have 2 leopard geckos and a desert iguana is it safe to keep the 3 together in a 29 g long tank?
No! not under any circumstances is that ok. First of all, logically consider this: Leopard Geckos are mainly from Pakistani deserts, and the Desert Iguana is from the American Southwest. Leopard geckos may be carriers of Middle Eastern diseases that they have adapted an immunity to, while the iguana may be susceptible, and vice-versa. This is just one reason why two species of different localities should never be put together, not to mention aggression issues. Plus, if you're keeping your iguana remotely decently, it should have AT LEAST a 40 gallon tank, a high powered (125 watts or more) mercury vapor bulb that emits UVB (not just UVA) like a Powersun. Leopard Geckos may be harmed by this level of UVB and should therefore have a separate tank from each other unless they are two females of the same size.
Can a leopard gecko live without a heating pad but with just a light?
Leopard geckos should be given a temperature gradient of 80F with a 90F hot spot during the day, and can drop to 70F with an 80F hot spot at night. So, unless your house is 80F at night, the answer is no. Nor should you ever use a heat pad, cord, or heat tape without a reliable thermostat to connect it to. Proper equipment will keep your animal safe and healthy. Leopard geckos may live for over 30 years with proper care--$120 for proper heating equipment and thermostat is not exactly a huge expense for the life of your animal. If you cannot afford it, don't get a leopard gecko.
