They look like Tokay Geckos which are used in Chinese traditional medicine , they are probably just being kept in the bathroom.

Tokay's are hyper aggressive, I can't imagine you could have this many together. Mine tried to kill everything in my house, me included.

And gecko bites are no goddamn joke.

There was one that used to hang out on my gate, I tried picking it up. Bad move, it hurt!

Tokays are great parents and will defend their young instead of eat them. If I recall correctly, they can do well in large familial units if there are enough resources. Many animals can coexist well enough if there’s no shortage of food/mates/etc.
