I've had mine for about a month and I would say that he's pretty comfortable with me now. The first week I had him was fine, but yeah he was also a little jumpy. After about the 2nd/3rd week I noticed that he was not as fidgety and didn't suddenly curl back as much if I accidentally moved my hand too fast in front of him or something. Now he likes to crawl in in my sweater hood or sleeve and just hang out. I handle him everyday except after he's eaten. Then I usually leave him alone for a day or two. Anyways good luck and have fun!
