How tame has anybody managed to get these guys? I've had my female for quite some time now, and she's starting to get used to the way I feed. I put in a bowl of crickets without their back legs, she'll jump out of her hiding spot to get onto my arm. She's slowly starting to take them from my hand as well (especially phoenix worms)
I was told that the turneri's skin is too sensitive to really handle, so what's likely the limit? I've had to grab her a few times to get her off of me after I finish feeding, I'm worried of hurting her.

In my opinion, you could start holding your turneri. Their skin is tough enough to stand up to handling. If you have the gecko jumping on to your arms, continue to build a positive relationship by allowing, or urging the gecko to walk over your hand.

If you can get your gecko to jump onto your hand, you can start to get your gecko to jump back and forth between hands, and usually after a few sessions, the gecko will settle down and start to think about what it is doing and calm down. Once you see your gecko lick his lips, this is a good indicator that you have a tame animal in the making.

Keep us updated!
