You can hold your gecko more often than that. I'm sure they don't mind unless your gecko is the type that doesn't like being handled. I hold my gecko every day for 20 min.
I handle Elektra about the same amount as Collin. She doesn't mind being handled, and has favorite spots on my body that she likes to chill on, shoulders are a win for her. I think it really depends on how social the gecko is, but even if they're 100% antisocial I think they should be held at least a bit so they can start being tamed.
Tiamat can be a bit of a priss, but she likes my neck and shoulders as well. Or my armpits if I'm wearing a robe or long sleeved shirt with open sleeves. She's funny that way.
I hold her a little every day and sometimes longer if my cat isn't around so she can get some exercise climbing on me.
