Hi again, absolutely no disrespect, but everything about the enclosure is bad, from the glass that offers no privacy and is a bad insulator, to the (part covered) screen top. In a fish tank of this size it`s almost impossible to get a decent temp/humidity gradient, or for one animal to "escape" from the other if/when domination issues take place.
As far as waiting until june before building something more suitable, and separating them if necessary once you know gender, they are more than capable of inflicting fatal injuries right now, though if you do have a m f the best chance of them getting along is from the start.
They need a relatively deep substrate, both for humidity and burrowing (15 to 18inches would suffice at the moment).
These anamals grow VERY quickly when properly supported, and that must be from the very beginning, not somewhere along the line.
I hope you take this as constructive criticism!
Yes, you could try incubating the eggs and feed the chicks.
