You shouldn't be holding your ball python all the time either, unfortunately, as it's stressful to the snake as well. Crested geckos do well with short handling sessions, as a rule, and from what I understand gargoyle geckos do too. Others, such as tokays and goldens, are pretty much "look but don't touch" critters. Anoles aren't geckos, but they'll get used to handling too.
