Emerson, Zippo, and Honey will most likely live out the rest of their lives as 'pet only' ladies, luxuriating in restful days of lapping up Crested Gecko Diet, hanging from the glass walls of the tanks, and never having to look at a male again.
That said, I do plan on continuing to breed Cresties, at least for another year. I redid the reptile wall this evening; set a 20 Gallon Long on its end, creating a new home for one of my male Crested Geckos, Norbert (more on this tank and its backing later), and removed Lillun (the male that was in with the girls for the past few seasons) so that he now has his own enclosure.
Norbert is what they call a Super Dalmation color morph, meaning that he has over 100 spots on his body.
Earlier this week, I purchased a girlfriend for him - another Super Dalmation - and she can be seen here:

They should produce some very, very spotty babies, with some great crest structure and body size.
The offspring of Dalmation morph geckos tend to reflect the parents, and then some - being that both mom and dad have 100+ spots, the babies should definitely be some lookers.
I can hardly wait. :D
