Give them some time. I have two, and they live in separate enclosures. One is a bit younger. I believe she had only been a week or two old when I brought her home, and she tolerates handling well. This is because she has severe shedding issues and has needed intervention for every shed therefore is handled frequently. She did resist at first, I had to try to use a qtip on her inside a container but it got tricky when she couldn't get the skin away from her eyes, I needed to be precise so I just started holding her more. I suggest the gentle approach for the first month or so. it's so much more important for them to get comfortable and be eating well and growing right now. There is plenty of time to tame them. My other gecko is larger and thriving health wise, but is so crazy skittish. He's a terrible lazy hunter, hates leaving his hide for any reason during day light, and does not at all want to be held. I once had managed to get him crawling on me and exploring my arm, I had my hand out to support underneath in case he moved but he still managed to jump off of me! He crawled under a shelf and it took quite an effort to get him back. Ever since he just knows he can get away (I believe anyway!). If I can even get a hold of him that is. To clean the tank I just scoop him into a Tupperware by gently steering him to a corner. Why stress him out, is how I try to think about it. But lately I have been attempting feeding him with tongs, as I do with the friendlier gecko. He is super dorky and bad at hunting the provided silk worms so it seems like he is coming around to the help of tongs. Maybe try a more interactive feeding to help your gecko get used to your presence and introduce your hand often. Attempt a hold after a month or more, by sliding fingerscale underneath. I always warm my hands and she now comes to me, and seems to really enjoy being held for a few minutes at a time. Be patient! I'd say the first time I just made sure to give a safe small space inside my hands, nothing crazy or over stimulating. just let them be cozy for a bit, then go home. the more positive experiences they have the more tame they become.
