Oh this is the fun part, when they are little they tend to be speedy, while you get used to their speed its advisable to handle over a box just in case they get away from you they cant go far.
As to handling advice, the only advice I can give is get stuck in, they soon learn you're not going to hurt them and get used to your presence and dont leg it with quite so much speed. |

jinx was a bit like this a first, i used to handle him over his faun so that if he did happen to take a leap of faith he would end up in his faun instead of disapearing off in the room! she'll soon settle down once she gets used to being handled and realises your not going to eat her! |
