My dragons used to be like that. What you're goign to have to do to make your dragon used to you holding it is: every day or so, pick up and hold your dragon for 5-10 minutes, and don't let him/her escape. The more often you do this the more your dragon will be used to being held. If you try to capture your dragon and give up b/c it runs away, your dragon will learn that it can get away and will never calm down.

Hand-feeding them gets them more used to you as well. Try giving him mealworms or veggies from your fingers.
