I need some help identifying the morph of each of these Geckos. I also need a possible age of a 4" and a 6" Gecko. also if anyone could give me good tips on how to raise a healthy Gecko along with any type of info about telling morphs apart. I have alot of info on how to take care of them but would like alot more. i would appreciate anything you can give me.

The first one is still a bit young to be sure but but looks like it may be a hypo tangerine baldy carrot tail. Tangerine because of the orange color of the body, the reason for the hypo is because of the lack of spots, baldy because there are no spots on the top of the head, carrot tail because of the deep orange on the tail, (if as an adult it has less then ten spots on the body it will be considered a super hypo. The second one is a tangerine. As for the age it depends on how it was fed as a baby which should have been daily but I would guess aproximatly 6-7 months old. I have had some that grow quicker but in gerneral that would be it.
As for telling the difference in morphs the best thing to get is the book by Ron Tremper "Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos". GL

As of right now, I do not think the amount of orange pigmentation on the tail constitutes the designation of "carrot-tail". True carrot-tails from the Ray-Hine line denote a minimum of 15%-30% of the tail to be orange before the name is given.

As you said, it is still transitioning and I wouldn't be surprised if the orange picks up in higher concentrations over the next few weeks, but as of right now I wouldn't call it one just yet.
