After a few attempts, possibly over a few days, the reptile will slowly realize that you are not a threat. Some will even seek attention. Once you are less jittery, and he is less fearful, try holding him outside his cage, while still sitting on the floor. Soon, you and your reptile will be able to take small trips around the room, then around the house. Always make sure you are completely supporting the animal, and have a firm, but gentle grip around his midsection before moving about the room.
Some people take their reptile friends wherever they go.
