If he really scares you that much, then yes. But try holding him with thick
gardening gloves, he will get used to you, and they can become very tame. If you can conquer your fear, I'm sure you would enjoy him.

I have to ask something.
You do know that he doesn't actually like to be held right?
He's not missing out on anything if you have him in a good viv - with or without handling.
You need to make a decision, is he good looking enough to keep for looking at or does he have to be a pet. Once you figure that out you'll know whether to sell him or not

It's easy to think of reptiles the same as cats and dogs but they don't actually need any human interaction, a lot prefer not to have any, others tolerate it and some people say there animals look forward to it. It is nice to be able to handle your pets and there certainly isn't any harm if you do so long as they don't go off food and try to defend themselves (a sign of stress).
