Let him run around?

I have a king that is about 8 months old. I like holding him and playing with him. He acts good. He gets upset sometimes when I reach in there to pick him up and rattles his tail. However he calms down once the initial shock subsides and he sees that I am just picking him up. Until now I have always just held him and let him crawl around my hands and arms. I want to give him a little more freedom to roam but am worried that he will slither away. A couple times he almost got out of my hands because he is very fast when he wants to be! Any suggestions on how to set up a little area or something that he can roam? Thanks.
