I'll second the separating the beardies ASAP. While it is possible keep some females together , the risk is one dominating the other and they can get violent and do some serious injuries to each other. NOT worth the risk IMO.
Never had a gecko , but kept some ordinarily skittish skinks , I found they became more comfortable with being handled if I hand fed them some tasty insects each time I handled them , this made the experience less stressful and even pleasureable for them as they started to associate being handled with being fed .... maybe this approach will work with geckos too.
My water skink crawls and climbs all over me for a while each day and even eventually makes herself comfy and cozy and naps in my hand or on my tummy or chest. Never imagined I'd get her to be so mega-tame and friendly and relaxed when being "handled".
