Photos can't tell us much. Only you really know if they will be good for breeding. Are they relatively the same size? Have you let them meet each other? If so, how do they react to one another?

I leave my heat cord on 24/7. My reasoning is that if she (my spotted) wants it, she can have it. I have two hides, though, one in the heat and one in the cool.
