Hope I'm posting this in the right place, I just registered. Please admin move if in wrong section.

I'm not scared of Jackson, my ball python, who is very young probably less than a month. He's been here since earlier this week, and got used to his new home very quickly, went exploring around, and has dug little tunnels in the aspen where he likes to travel from his coconut shell hide to the log, then to the kitchen roll tube (his favourite sleeping place) and the tree bark he rubs against.

I'm only scared of upsetting him, I hate the thought of him feeling bad. But I've been slowly familiarising him with human contact, so occasionally stroke him a little, let him smell my hand, have picked him up once and he didn't ball up much but didn't seem relaxed either. I put an item of my clothing (small) in a corner of his enclosure so he knows my scent.

Am I doing the right thing or am I being too timid? Should I just pick him up again and let him get used to it? I'm not sure when, I don't want to disturb him when he's all cosy.
