Hes small and skittish. Hes not going to tame down till you spend more time with him. For now on just handle him inside the bathroom where he is close to you at all times. I just play on my cell phone for a bit when I'm in there with him but now he is tame enough to take in my room to watch TV with me. I usually put him inside my shirt so he gets more used to my scent. That sucks he lost his tail

Yes jumping or falling from 6ft cant hurt him and even kill him so don't carry him on your shoulder anymore. Simple as that.
