No immediately obvious problems with your enclosure, presuming you've cleaned it out very thoroughly after whoever used to live in there moved out. 4x1x1.5 ft = 6 cubic ft = roughly 45 gallons. The general rule is 20 gallons for the first gecko, 10 gallons each additional, so I'd say you could house 3-4 geckos in that enlosure. Make sure you provide lots of foliage for them to hide in. Live plants are fine, but fake ones are probably easier to deal with, and they do fine with them. I would say stay away from multiple males in an enclosure - there are people who've made it work, but my understanding is that it usually only works when the males have grown up together from a very young age and neither of them has been exposed to a female.
