i have been handling my leos more and more lately and i have noticed that one of them hates being handled, he just doesn't like it and tried to just out of my hands a number of times. while my other leo just walks around and seems to enjoy it, i can just lie down and let her crawl around on me and she'll just hang out with me. what should i do, if anything, about the gecko that doesn't like to be handled? and if you say to just stop handling her is there going to be a problem between the two of them if i only primarily handle the one and not the other?

If you've noticed your animal doesn't appreciate being handled, why try to handle it more?

I highly doubt the other gecko will get "jealous", because you're handling it's cage mate more.
