You're probably good to start handleing them. A few tips though. Wash your hands with really warm water. Geckos tend to squirm if your hands are cold and you could accidently drop them. Also, approch your gecko slowly and of course never pick it up by the tail or pull on it's tail. My geckos like it when you run your finger along their spine, both will arch their back up into it. Lastly you might want to lay out a towel or something to set them on or in if they get squirmy. Most geckos are good with holding, but ones that arn't handles much with be move inclined to try and crawl around rather then sit and chill. Also, babies are kinda fast so if your gecko is young be warned. Lastly, males tend to be less moody then females and are more handlable.
