    He is very good looking. It's normal for them to be lazy and just want to bask and sleep when they are full. They are acting a bit crazy inside the enclosure ( jumping up to the screen top, scratching and rubbing their nose on the glas ) when they want to get out because they are hungry or they don't want to poop inside their enclosure.
    If you want to you can put your hand underneath him to support him, when you give him a bath. Or you can put a old T-shirt into the tub. Put it in there in a way so he can climb on it if he gets tired of swimming around.

    Did you wash your hands before you picked him up ? He maybe smelled something on your hands like food. Did you try to pick him up from above him or in front of him. They are a bit less scared when you put your hand in front of him and then scoop him up from underneath. Then close your hand firmly so he can't jump out. But not to tight.
