Holding young dragons

[wilddragons16]

So I have like a 4 month old dragon, that is an estiment based on size, not totally sure of age. He is 8 inches right now. Anyway, I was wondering if I can pick him up too much? His stress marks, if present, disappear when I hold him, and he doesn't seem freaked out. He just chills, and will run around my chest, up my arms, in and out of my jacket, then come and lie down on me. He will stay out for like 6 mins, then back in the viv. I have held him twice and love to, but I don't want to stress him. Thanks!

HELLO? No advice at all?

If it's not stressing him out, and he's sitting calmly and happily, then yeah hold him as much as you want (and that he'll tolerate).

Just don't keep him out so much that he loses out on enough basking time or gets too cold.

Ok thanks soulwind! Any advice on bonding?
