Exclamation Crested Gecko Handling Advice Sought

I know this is off topic but my crestie wont let any one else touch her but me. My little sis likes to have me put Starburst on the back of her hand but she always jump off on to the floor or on to my hand. My mom like to check on her to make sure she is eating enoph but she can only look at her while I'm holding her When ever I am holding her she wraps her tail arround my finger or edge of my hand. I want her to be friendly and let others hold her not just me. Any advice?

How old is it? I heard from my cousin who's friend has had one for quite a while and said that if they were handled carefully and often when they were little they would be better tempered as far as holding goes. Other than that, what I do with my juvie cresteds is "walk" them from my hand to another person's hand and put mine back in front of that person's hand, and so forth. It seems to work well, even though they do jump sometimes. Anyways, I hope that helps.
