This is quite normal for a new and young hamster snapdragon. He is skittish and a little scared still. He won't sit on your chest until you have mastered the hand to hand running and he is secure in being handled and picked up. Can you take him in an empty bath and let him walk over you as he cannot escape from there. Keep on the floor for now and have a look in the WIKI at our taming tips article. He will be fast and jumpy till he is fully tamed so be prepared by keeping him low over a soft surface. I'm sure it will not be long before he calms down.
