First question I have is what morphs are these guys?

Left to right, it's male-female-male.
Yes I know, not a good mix, but I've had these guys together since they were very small and they haven't fought once.

So what morphs am I looking at?
I was told it was a normal bold stripe, high yellow, and tang when they were younger.

My second question, I plan on getting another female at a reptile show next weekend. What would be a good female to mix with either of the males? Something that would make some nice/cute babies:)

I agree that understanding genetics is a very important aspect of the hobby to understand before you invest in breeders. Also I would separate the males before they do end up fighting...there is a female in with them....its only a matter of time before they do serious damage to each other.

Answering your second question...nothing. You should develop some sort of goal or direction to what YOU like in the geckos and what you will enjoy caring for. Especially since its your first season of breeding...why not make sure YOU will enjoy every baby that comes out and know that's what YOU envisioned. You will not make money selling geckos unless you operate on a huge scale and develop a world wide clientele. I am happy breaking even every year...so I stick to projects I thoroughly enjoy working with.

I'm not really looking to sell the babies, more for my personal enjoyment.
I just want to see what cool looking babies I could come up with, i'd like to grow my collection a bit.

Does anyone know what kind of morphs I have?

I agree on waiting to breed. Also don't go hog wild mixing and matching you end up with normals with a list of hets a mile long. Get an incubator and hatchling cages setup before you even need them I didn't and ended up with 8 dead eggs because my makeshift half arsed incubator failed to keep steady temps.

Please take the advice that was given to you and separate, if not all of them, then at least the two males. Otherwise I can almost guarantee you'll wake up one morning to one or both injured or even dead.

You shouldn't keep them together especially given there are 2 males and 1 female. If it's just 2 males living in harmony together for a long time, that would've been fine. But males usually do eventually get rowdy when they get in the mood to breed. So please do separate them, you will likely wake up one day seeing a bloody mess.

Aside from that, I gotta say that's one heck of a cute picture.
