From my experiences with older Colombians, yes they definitely calm down with age and size.

They're prone to be more skittish then other 'gus but as they continue to figure out "life", the things that once scared them no longer do, or seem to have much less impact on them.

Eventually he should calm down enough to hold, although not ALL Colombians ever fully appreciate being held and might only tolerate for brief amounts of time.
