Recently acquired colony

[Wburke17]

Hello all,
I recently picked most of these up except for a couple (Normals) which were pets. I'm interested in eventually breeding some of these but I'm not sure as to what morphs they are and what may or may not be compatible with each other (albinos etc.)
I'm trying to get good weight on them and also give them good humidity as a couple have some shed skin on the toes.
Any and all help will be appreciated.

Male B juvie


Male C adult


Female B adult


Female C adult


Female D juvie


Female E adult


Female F small adult


Male D large adult


Female G yearling


Female H yearling


Female I small adult


Male E yearling

Do you have any idea of the genetics behind each one? Breeding a bunch of geckos with unknown genetics is not really a problem for the geckos (in terms of health) but it is a potential problem for the hobby when a bunch of geckos of unknown genetic origin appears on the market. THere's a recent thread on here that discusses this at length.

A couple of them I do have some info on and the rest are mostly ?'s
when i do breed them most of the offspring that aren't hold backs will be going to friends that are teachers for classroom pets and to some of my kids friends.
I know genetics are a big question, that's why I asked in my first post for some ideas of what some might be, so I can at least have a lil something to start or go by. So if people here don't want to help a "gecko" newb not a reptile newb out then there's always other avenues I can take to try to help with my questions.

OK, I'll take a stab at it (I'm using MA=Male A, etc)
MA and FA:hypo/ superhypo tangerines. The speckling makes me wonder whether they could be enigmas as well. Are the eyes orange? Are they displaying any suspect neurological symptoms like circling or clumsiness

MB: tangerine. I guess you could say "high orange" which means to me, reduced spotting but not reduced enough to call it a hypo (requires less than 10 body spots)

MC: stripe (pattern runs from shoulder to tail as opposed to horizontal bands) possible reverse stripe (hatched with one dark stripe at midline as opposed to a stripe on either side of midline)

FB: superhypo tangerine (tang colored, no body spots), Baldy (no head spots). Tail is not orange enough to be a carrot tail

FC: normal or "wild type"

FD: blizzard

FE: Normal or "wild type"

FF: albino. My guess would be dark Tremper or Bell

MD: aberrant (broken bands on body but not on tail). I have seen that pattern frequently in Mack snow geckos, but there's no way to know if it's a snow (born black and white vs. black and yellow) because they tend to yellow up

FG: hypo (fewer than 10 body spots). Some people would call it a tangerine, but it's not that orange and would be a poor quality tang at best

FH: albino, possibly Bell. It seems white enough so I'd also wonder if it could be a Mack snow

FI: Albino (don't know what type), possibly het blizzard due to the speckling

ME: high yellow with nice high contrast.

Hope that helped.

Thank you Aliza that does help a lot, and thank you for taking the time to help me out. the first pair are enigmas. The male I was told was het for Bell. Neither of them male or female have any neurological problems. I've had the male for about 1.5 years and the female is from a friend that has had no luck with trying to breed her. I will also try to take some pictures of their eyes.

i will ill put the pics back up once I'm back on my home computer. I rearranged the bucket last night
