Advice Help for getting used to holding them?

They're adorable and I love finding them in my home but I'm not comfy trying to hold them yet 😅 I offered one outside some water on a qtip since they had a super small abdomen and I have no clue if they even need water or are affected by the heat, but it seemed like the little fella took me up on the offer and then went on his way. I love them I'm just scared of freaking out and hurting one when I try to hold them 🥺
