I rarely wait to hold a new reptile unless I know for a fact he is sick or stressed or doesn't aNy to me. My new tegu is mad chill lol. He comes to me just like my red does, and he's actually less squirmy than my red. I feel that as long as the reptile is ready that its best to start bonding right away. But as said above, only if you don't have to chase him. The first time I held my new baby he was eating eggs off the tongs and I went to pick him up and he ran, turned around and looked at me, I stuck the tongs back in and he slowly came back and startex eating again. I again went to pick him up but went slowly and from the front so he could see me coming and he let me without even flinching
