Ok my mom said that i could get a leopord gecko for my birthday and she said that i could either get 2 geckos ?

Leopard geckos are alot of fun. and once you get into a schedule of taking care of them, like feeding times, cleaning times etc, it is really easy. they are alot of fun to have, but as for you deciding what you want to have as your pet. thats is completely up to you. Personally i would go for the geckos, they are cheaper. and i would say that they are easier than the turtle.
