You've already received some excellent advice!
I will echo that having smaller, more enclosed hides will help. My little girl Sierra has been the hardest to get comfortable and settled in. It really helped to get one of those black plastic hides with the offset entrance like the ones on http://www.reptilebasics.com/. I've also added a lot of clutter to her enclosed. Together that has helped tremendously! Keep in mind that what looks good to you, isn't always the most comfortable for them.
Also, understand that they are so small and you are huge. Their fight/flight response is still very strong as a youngster because in the wild they would be prey for many many different things. With regular handling and observation on your part (knowing when and when not to handle them based on shed, feeding, attitude at the time) you'll be able to tame them down. With work, Sierra has started to get used to our routine. She's still sassy at times, but that's to be expected since she's still just over 100g. And I'd much rather get tagged a few times while she's small and get her use to what we do, than wait until she's bigger and a bite could actually break the skin.
