I think back off. Just spend plenty of time in the room, so it can see you out side the enclosure for a few days. Then slowly introduce your hand. Just put it in the enclosure slowly, away from the little one, so you don't stress her. if she doesn't freak out, move your hand and stroke her back gently. If she freaks out again, don't worry. Just give her time.

I wouldn't recommend touching the gecko at all. It's a hatchling. Your hand is big and scary compared to something so small. Blizzards tend to be more aggressive anyway. I don't know why, but they just are. Not all, but most.
Leave the gecko alone for a while. It's still new in your care. It's still adjusting to it's environment. After you've had the gecko a little over a month put your hand in the cage on the opposite side of where the gecko is. Set it in there, leave it for a few minutes, then slowly take it out. Over time the gecko should walk over and investigate. But do not ever make a move toward your gecko if your gecko is skiddish. Stressing the animal isn't necessary.

ok i ll take it very slow. I wondered if there was something genetically different as it is quite a bit more timid then my other 2 geckos that i got as hatchlings. My fault with other pets that i have had is leaving them alone too much so as not to stress them and then they never really get tame. I just want to do what is right for the gecko though.

Geckos mellow as they age.
same here
most of my blizzard hatchings ive produced over the years are the most vocal of all of them,
its a back off leave my alone warning usually accompanied with a curled tail in the air.
i agree with allee, good advice
let the get used to their home, and u befor handling keep their stress levels to a min. l
Even when they are used to me, my juveniles & some adults they like to squeek & squawk its way different then the above this is and make sure u know they the boss and are there
{takn to you its cute}
