handling a water dragon

Question
I have a water dragon and I had him about a week..and I pet him 1 or twice buh I havnt picked him up..and I was wondering how I would go about handling him with out stressing him..

Answer
 Getting him used to your hand is a good way, he must come to trust that the hand will only give good things, like a yummy bug.  When picking up your dragon, it should be below, lifting the belly and not from above, like a predator.  Holding him until he is calm then returning him to his enclosure will show him that if he stays calm, he will get what he wants.  It's a long process, but daily handling will get him used to it and he will stp stressing about it.
