Handling - How long?

We have a hatchling which is 7 weeks old. We have had him for just over a week and are trying to handle him each day (except after feeding). How long should ne be out of his viv. We have had him out for about 20 mins each time. Is this long enough, or should we keep him out longer?
 
It seems that I read somewhere that any more than 15-30 minutes a day, more that 2-3 days a weekis overly stressfull.

I must say however that I am guilty of going waaaaaay over that in handling times.

My anerytheristic is so passive and cool that its nothing for me to have her out for an hour or more at a time, and I can't think that it's stressing her because there have been many times that I have fed her directly after handling.

Just my thoughts.
