Can they be handled?

[Millimi]

My friend recently got an annole and a leopard gecko, not in the same cage. She thinks she can handle them like her gerbils and degus, but I think she's really wrong. I thought you couldn't handle lizards, and she's trying to tame them! Her annole always turns brown when she handles her, and that's bad. She's generally a good pet mommy, so I hope she's just misinformed...
So my question is, can leos and annoles be handled?

[JEFFREH]

Anoles are generally jumpy and dont like being handled. Leo's (leopard gecko's) will allow short periods of handling for about 5-10 minutes a day if you handle them gently. They dont enjoy it but they will tolerate it.

ive a pet anole once named elvis, and he's a bit tamed though i cant actually expect him to be as sweet as an iguana. when i bought elvis i ALWAYS talk to him making him FEEL safe so 4 days after i bought him, he's tamed already though i dont know if this method would also work for you
