Leopard gecko hatches in our facility

It is very interesting to me to see all the different color patterns of the leopards as they hatch. I am surprised to see that 2 eggs that were laid and collected at the same time can be so different sometimes. The babies are growing at a fast rate and now some of them are getting to a size that I consider a challenge for me the "Non-Reptile Person" to work with. How can such a small animal intimidate me so?
