Check out the caresheet on this site to make sure his setup is on-target, as well as make sure he has plenty of places to hide in his enclosure. If it's a tank, black out three sides and make sure it is in a low-traffic area. Too much visibility and movement will only stress him out more.
Once your setup is ideal, give him a few days/week to settle down, and then hold him for small amounts of time with a few days to relax in between.
Most importantly, remember that he's a baby, and if he bites you, it DOESN'T HURT.So reach in calmly and just pick him up, even if he hisses. Hesitating just gives him better aim.
