I've had a juvenile leopard gecko about 6 weeks

Temps are 85-90 on warm side and 70-75 on cool side
Reptile carpet
Multiple hides, warm hide, moist hide, tree hide thing, cool whip hide, and a rocket outlet hide
25 gallon tank

He's comfortable, he eats, not as much as i want but he eats. He poops, not as much as i want but he poops. I can put my hand in his cage and he will come investigate and climb on my hand and we'll share a moment but as soon as i move my hand or touch him he's wild, he hisses and snaps. Working on him but what advice can you give me to help this process?

Give it time, or he just doesn't like being handled. I was hoping for a outgoing gecko that I could hold and stuff, but turns out mine doesn't like it to much, which is okay as long as he is happy.
