Relatively New Crestie

[dmbfan128]

So i have had this little guy since february of this year and he is eating fine and seems to be growing but still is still very very jumpy when it comes to handling him. I have probably only handled him a handful of times since i brought him home but i dont want to handle him incase it stresses him out. Is there anyway to help him get more accustomed to it or is it how these lizards are? And if not what is the best, and least stressful way?

Thanks

Some are just really jumpy. I have a few who just chill when handled, but most jump and try to get away no matter how long I've had them or how often I try to get them out.

I've noticed that most will calm down a lot once they're close to adult size. Others may always be jumpy though. Good luck!
