Here is my new wild caught eastern, about 14 inches long. This guy is pretty nervous. Are males typically more nervous about being held? All he wants to do is get away.

How should I tame him? Should I not touch him for a week so he gets used to his new home? Or should I hold him several times per day starting right away?

Thanks.
