1. just gentle handle him for a few min every few days slowly extending the time each time, i like to hold them till they calm down and relax then put them back kinda like a positive reward seems to work.
2. superworms are fine for him mealsworms too
3. shtctb (Super Hypo Tangerine Carrot Tail)

I feed all my leo's super worms and I do not have a problem. Just don't leave the super worms in there with him, give him one at a time and watch him eat it, don't give him any that are too big and you'll be good to go And time will help tame him down. I still have some that just really don't like to be handled. They don't bite but they really don't like to be bothered and I have/had some that were COMPLETE doll babies from day 1. He looks to have nice color from what I can see in the pics

Very nice, congrats on the new Leo!! Looks like a nice healthy one.
I too feed mainly superworms to my guys, they love them and do quite well on them.

i was under the impression super worms were pretty high in fat and therefor meant to be more of a treat than anything, guess i was wongg

Not to hijack the thread, but maybe you are thinking of wax worms? They are very high in fat and best as a treat, if at all.
