All hatchlings are stressed at least a little by handling, it's just natural instinct. He'll gain confidence as he grows as well.

Hi, Jhill,
Thank you for your response. He is still a baby, but he's past the hatchling stage. We've had him for almost 2 months now. He's growing like crazy (not sure of weight or length. He's as long as our 6 month old BP, I do know that, but of course not nearly as thick. He's a long, thin little sylph...lol) He shed twice in the last month, a perfect shed everytime. He's so fun to watch, and very interactive w/in his tank. Such a little character, for sure. We have been handling him above his tank. He's so quick and agile, it wouldn't be safe to handle him away from his "home." He would definitely get away and we would never find him, as small and quick as he is. We just have to keep trying, I guess. I just know he's going to be fun to handle and play with. He definitely has personality.
