How to get a baby gecko used to me?

[GeckoGrace]

I know that babies are afraid of me and will get stressed. So how can i get them to lose fear of me?

Gently pick them up. I usually scoop them up with both hands, and just let them either sit or walk from one hand to the other. Do this once a day, and they will lose the fear.

Had babies and juveniles jump hazardously off me. Best advice i can give you is just let them be at their own pace, seeing you every night and just patiently wait for them to grow up as they lose the flighty attitude when they become adults (well a great majority does)

I agree with tongue flicker. Over time, if you let them be and just take care of their needs, they will learn to trust you.

You can also put a worn shirt or sock in the tank with them, and they will associate your smell with safety and comfort!

I tend to bother them as little as possible until they are eating like pigs and grow a little stronger
