most people satg not to handle them too often, especially when they're young. Mine is about a year and he loves when I pick him up and rub his head. I wouldn't handle a hatchling a lot, because it is stressful, and when you do pick it up, let it back in the water when it wants to go back in (usually immediately)--unless you're checking up on its health.
