These are animals that get stressed so very easily and letting them walk on your head isn't going to help about that!
These are simply no beginner animals (even experienced people have a lot of difficulties with uro's.)and certainly no animals to hold, then they stop eating, get sick and die. (I work at a reptile zoo and now what I'm talking about)

it is normal that they don't eat when they are new. is it wild caught??

if you want an nimal that you can hold get a bearded dragon( Pogona vitticeps) or a leopard gekko( Eublepharis macularis) certainly no uro. (and certainly no wild caught one)
