Due to my current climate season, my hands are somewhat clammy and sweaty all the time.

Everytime I try to acquaint with my geckos by idly placing my hand inside their enclosures, they would come at me and lick my hands all over.

Just curious..

I would have to say it's the same as a dog licking your hands. They are somewhat attracted to the salt/moistire. I would say that it isn't harmful as long as your hands are clean and free from chemicals and other irritants.
