How to get your gecko to sleep in your hand?

[Beginner gecko]

Not much to this post just curious Ik it may not be able to be done with all geckos but I’d certainly like to try. So any advice on getting my gecko asked on me/in my hands etc?

It depends on the gecko. Some don't like to be held at all and some enjoy the warm hand and will get so comfortable they'll fall asleep. No guarantee. If you pick it up during the day when it's more likely to sleep, and if it feels comfortable on your hand it may sleep there.

It also has to be tamed, right?

Some can be tamed and some just never like it. It's certainly worthwhile trying to hold your gecko for a short period of time each evening and to see if it will acclimate (no guarantee, though).
