The enclosure would have a surface area of 864 sq. in. It would also be the equivilent of a 89 gallon aquarium
My main question is-

Ryan: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.
Mick: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?!
Ryan:Help me someone i have a mortal wound!
[Kyle runs over]Kyle:Where does it hurt?
Ryan:Oh i would have to say.....IT HURTS IN THAT BIG BLOODY HOLE STUPID!!!
0.0.1 Leopard geckos
0.1.0 dogs (Sadie)
1.3.0 cats (chance,sissy,marshmellow,rosie)
0.0.78 fish
BUT make sure they are all getting enough food and make sure there are enough hides

whoops...wow where was my head just now...lol I'd say you could probably happily house at least 10 (I don't know why I was thinking 1 per gallon...lol). All the same, if you can keep 3 in a 20L I don't see why you couldn't expand a little past the 1/10 gallon rule (though not up to a hundred geckos...lol). so I'd think you could definitely get away with one male and 9 or 10 females. ...given enough hiding spaces of course.

well i have read that you should have 10" by 10" for each gecko. so figuring that out correctly you could house either 8 or 9 geckos.

I keep one male in each. But I wouldn't think twice about putting 2-3 females in with each of them.
Some day I'll probably have enough females to do that. I've found that if you give them room, they'll use it.
My 4'x2'x16" tank has another lone male in it, and he's always exploring. Every night I go in the room to check on him he's sneaking around in a different spot 
much better than when he was in the 33 gallon aquarium
I don't really like the '10 gallon rule' because it is floor space you need to worry about.
You could have a tank that is 12x12 inches, and 15 feet tall, it would be huge volume wise, but you couldn't even keep one leo in it.
Kind of an extreme example, but you can tell what I'm getting at lol
hereare a couple of pics of the 2x4 if you're interested

60-65 is colder.
"Where do you mount the flexx watt? "
between sheets of glass buried in concrete
"how long is the strip? "
there are 3 6" strips close to each other
"what width is the strip?"
3"
"how many watts is the strip?"
I'm not sure, its some that my brother in law gave me.
I could bust apart the cement and see, but that wouldn't be good
