Ide say it may be a bit harder coz of its age and size.. But first you need to just leave it in the viv to settle in but do all the normal maintenance stuff, changin the water and removing his waste so he can get use to your havd and know your not a threat. I then got mine out and let him go across the hallway and sat on the top stair while he walked around.. next thing i knew he was climbing up my chest! still a bit huffy puffy but gettin much better!

Some good points on that

The reccomended route is slowly, just get him/her used to your hand being in the viv when changing water,removing poop etc... and slwoly stroke him over the next few weeks etc... and one day, when he stops hissing and realises your not a threat, pick him up.
