mine does things similar to this ... not sure if it is they 'like' to be held .. but want to explore more ...

when i am near it's cage he will follow me along the glass ... when i go to open the top he comes up to greet me (wont do this to my wife, only me) .. when i hold him ... he explores all over my hands arm's till he falls asleep ... but when i go to put him back down he comes right back to me wanting to be picked up again ...
