Just let them walk through your hands. Dont force them, and be very gentle. When picking them up, try to let them walk on your hand, or just very gently put your hand underneath it and lift it up. Main thing is to be gentle.

My leos are adults so they are pretty calm when handling. I just reach in, and pick them up. They like to crawl around on may hand and enjoy sitting on my shoulder while I put their cages back together after cleaning them. Babies are defensive and dislike being held so you will have to get them used to your hands before you pick them up. Babies typically won't mind being held in a slightly cupped hand but NEVER try to restrict their movement too much or they will think they are being attacked.
