:I bought a pair of juvenile crested geckos and they are both beautiful geckos, but go crazy when you try to handle them. One of the geckos is pretty calm and will let you touch it but as soon as you try to pick it up it starts hopping and running, trying to escape. The other gecko won't let you get near it and it bites me whenver I pick it up. Any advice on how to calm these geckos down will be appreciated. Thanks.

They will calm down in time. Just give them some time and they will be great pets for you. Hopefully they will be a 1.1 pair which will make some beautiful babies for yourself. My juviniles can be skiddish, but my adults are all very calm.
Hope this helps
David
