Baby Ackie, gaining trust.

Hi there,

So I got my Ackie about almost two months ago. He was just a hatchlling when I received him, probably a month and a half old. I was looking for some tips on how to earn his trust. I have never picked him up expect when I first put him in his cage. I am able to tong feed him and he will wait in front on me while I get the next cricket and will eat in front of me. I am able to put my hand in the cage and given a few minutes he will walk around his cage and has explored and crawled on my hand a few times now. I have never tried to pick him up yet. When I get up and move or move too fast he tends to duck and cover. I try not to spook him as much as possible and keep our interactions positive but he still seems unsure and scared of me. I am wondering if I could be doing something more to earn his trust or if it is simply due to him still being so young. Thank you for any advice you can give.
