It can be done, but it will take a lot of work. By that age, they're getting set in their ways. You'll need to start off the same way you would with a baby. Slowly get them used to your hand being near it. Once that's done, bribe it into walking into your hand with a mealworm. When they start to walk into your hand with no problem, you can start to hold them for awhile. Start with a small amount of time, and work your way up.

There will be some geckos that will never like being handled. If you are willing to do the work, and take things at your gecko's pace (which can be SLOW), then you should be able to tame them.
