Okay, I am 11 years old and I would love to get a reptile. I've done all my research, but I'm stuck between Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos. My mom has had experience with reptiles, and she is okay with the Beardie. She says, however, not o get the Leo because of it's nocturnal-ness. But Leos are the cheaper (in the long run) alternative, right? I'm open too snakes, too, but only if neither the Leo or the Beardie seems right for me...
