Sweeeet. If he's young handle him and let him bite you a few times. Dont use gloves, or he will be scared. A towel works ok but they dont bite hard and its important for the to realize you 1. are not bitable 2. are not going to hurt them or constrain them. Keep that in mind and you can tame it down. Of course, this only really works for geckos under a year old or so....the older ones will usually stress and bite really hard. Never constrain him or freak him out too much, keep your palms open and catch him instead of preventing him from running. If he doesnt take it well, stop, or he'll stop eating
