From what I know hatchlings are almost universally skittish and wary of people. One that is not is likely an exception, rather than the result of any taming method.

Just be patient. They get calmer as they get larger, and will come around.

what i did to get my guy to come to me was opened his cage and laid my arm in there, some times for more than an hour, he would roam all over and climb up my arm getting used to me. after he climbed on me i would pick him up and feed him. that way he knows that when you pick him up its time for food. but be careful you dont want your GU to think that all you are so just as often as not put your arm in there and when he climbs on you take him out hold him, let them explore you and just put them back in thier cage when you are done or they seem to be done. that is how i got my guy to come to me i hope it works for you.
