as my lizard gets older will become easer to handle i havent handled mine at all im affraid he will escape

harder to handle. He will not be used to handling at all.
When they are real young, or super small,
I just put my hand in their tank, and let them come and sit on it or jump on me. (Just for touch of some kind)

I always suggest bathrooms to people, to let them run, as you sit on the floor, they usually get used to you and walk on you , so on.

The bathroom, "provided lids down," and maybe a rolled towel along the bottom of door, it's pretty empty of furniture, to get lost under.

Of course everybody has their own taming techneques, I just know through even my wc's, that for some reason when let out to run, they tame down, nicely !

you told me as my lizard gets older he wont have spazms into the wal and run up against a serten corner what do i do stop this behavor?

LOL I did not, tell you as he got older he would not spaz,

I said if you Continue (to NEVER handle him) he will never get calm or tame down.

Ya have to try and hold him, start in the tank, on you hand, for a few weeks, and then progress from there.

Just keep trying, evenually he will get on your hand.
