Need Some Expert Advice

I am fairly new to cacti and succulents, I acquired these from a friend. I sadly have no idea what types they are and as you can see they need some re-potting and space to grow. If anyone could be kind enough to help me in identifying what types are in the mix i would greatly appreciate it.

    Welcome to the world of sux! Enablers here! :D

    It would be better if you took pix of each pot separately & larger, if possible.

    Is all that yellow stuff some kind of moss?

    For now, the planter on the left:

    left upper corner is an Aloe
    next to it, looks like Aloe juvenna
    hard to tell what the little piece in front is
    larger green toward right side is a Kalanchoe
    grey on in back, right could be an Echeveria
    in front, another Aloe, I believe
    hard to say on smaller ones without getting a better look at them

    Planter on the right:

    The white/grey ones on the left (& elsewhere) could be Grapto-somethings. Maybe you could separate all, snap pix & then come back for IDs on individuals??
    The lighter green/fuzzy ones are Kalanchoe, which is a hybrid of K. tomentosa x K. millotii. It has mistakenly been called Kalanchoe 'Behartii' (thinking it was K. beharensis x K. millotii). They are selling it at the box stores as K. beharensis (incorrect).
    Hard to say what the guys on the right are or the tall one in the back (etiolated).

    If you post more pix, I'll be back to take a shot at 'em! :D

    Thank you for all the additional pix! =)

    In general, all your plants are etiolated...meaning they need more sunlight to grow compactly (as they would normally). You need to acclimate them to sun gradually, so you don't burn/shock them. Sometimes, when they are etiolated, it makes them hard to identify. Also, when you have young plants (some are), we need to see them after they've grown up a bit.

    All right...how to answer this, with all those pix (trying not to confuse)?

    The photo, where you have this:
    "This is a close up of the left planter":
    Aloe on left (unknown till older)
    front little piece, possibly Anacampseros rufescens
    Aloe juvenna (ID'd earlier)

    in the right box of the left planter
    unknown Aloe (need to let it grow)
    grey -some type of Echeveria
    Kalanchoe...looks like K. sexangularis
    large Echeveria in back, could be 'Perle von Nurnberg', but would be best to see it after it is no longer etiolated

    I got LUCKY!!!! After my laptop shut down on me...all I wrote was STILL here when I came back. SO...I'm posting it NOW (not to take more chances) & will finish in a bit. Whew!

    Just a mention, one in the other planter is a Kalanchoe tomentosa (I couldn't see before). More on others later.
