Just wondering at what age and size can you start hand taming the hatchlings. So far mine has been pretty good for a few minutes at a time and its about 4 inches long.

I start touching them lightly right after they hatch. I usually start picking them up shortly afterwards. Some always stay hyper, but most of mine are good at being handled by the time they're a month old.

Wait until their first shed after hatching then begin gentle touching/handling
But for handling I'd wait until they have been eating for a good 3 days to reduce stress
