Question
is it ok to have turtles in the same aquarium as some leopard gecoks or if not leopard geckos then flying geckos?

Answer
Leopards are pretty much a desert species. It is difficult to combine a pond habitat with a desert in a home setting.

Flyers are a tree-dweller, and if you created enough vertical space in the turtle cage, it might work.

Functionally, it is tough to combine habitats, and tough to find good cagemates for most turtles. Now- if you were thinking about tortoises, it could be easier, but much more costly.
