A few questions come to mind:
1. How old are you?
2. How long have you been taking care of the gecko?
3. Are you REALLY able to handle the costs of getting the animal, the equipment necessary for it to thrive, its food, and the unforeseen trips to the vet?
4. Have you had a quiet and private talk (not an argument) with your mother concerning her reasons why she is against you getting a snake? Force yourself to listen and to understand (NOT ARGUE!). You might learn something and it may provide you with the opportunity to address some of her concerns in a mature, responsible way.
Good Luck!
