well, as crazy as this may sound,geckos(actually most lizards) have something in common with birds,they like to be at the highest point possible. The best thing that I have found to keep some (this wont always work,some just will always climb your arm no matter what you do) from climbing is hold them in your hands and every time they try to climb,pick them u again and hold them. Once they are calm in your hand,then you can place them on your shoulder yourself. It keeps them from climbing,because you are rewarding them for being good when you hold them. I hope it works for your guys. Good luck.

They will always climb up you arm, because it is the warmest body part, and geckos love the heat. If you want the other one to love you again get it treats ot the pet store. Hope this helped.

He's probably always going to climb up your arm. I have one that I've had for 5 years and it still tries to climb up my arm. I went and bought special reptile leashes for mine that way they can play and do whatever they want.

just work with them a little at a time untill they get used to being held, and go from there, a little more each day and they should be fine.
