Handling Western Banded Gecko and price?

I don't handle my geckos except on occasion when I need to move them. I am sure they can tolerate amounts of handling and I bet that varies between individuals. I would simply look for signs of them being stressed such as really trying to avoid being picked up, not eating, loss of tail size, loss of weight, etc. That would probably tell you more than anything about whether they are stressed about it or not.

I believe there are a few W. Banded breeders here that can answer the price question...

I have more Western banded babies than I know what to do with (Coleonyx variegatus). Some of them tolerate handling and some not. The father of the brood (20 babies with 2 to come) can be handled easily, the mother not so much. I sell them for $25 each and live near Boston. If you look in the Coleonyx forum, I posted a picture of a group of the babies a few months ago.
