Did you have funds to pay for them when you got them? If not, that's not a smart plan. I am a teenager also and I do chores all month, constantly, to get paid by my parents. On top of that, I find others who need weeding, tutoring, babysitting, etc. to get the money for extras they need. I never see money when it's handed to me, I only see reptile food. I've spent literally less than $20 on myself in 3 years, but that's how I like it. I know how 7 lives I am supporting and money can get tight but I've always found ways to get what I need. In reality, they're not super expensive. Selling pictures with my babies has never crossed my mind. I simply enjoy them and help people get over their fears and squash myths about our "killer" pets. Have fun with them! And get that gecko calcium! I work with a rescue with a gecko that looks like that and have to suck fluids from his joints to help relieve pressure....
