There's a few handling tips, one you can use your left or right hand as the scooping hand to get underneath one of his sides and the opposite hand to cup (place over) most of his body without covering the face preferrably. Also to mention the best way of doing this is at an angle where your hands aren't seen by the pacman.

Another way is using both of your hands and being in a position behind the pacman, placing hands on both sides of the pacmans lower middle region and then using your thumbs placed on the top of his back for control in case he gets jumpy. Also for maximum control with this method, pick him up with both hands but make sure his back legs are stretched back put of your hand so he can't use your hand as a platform to struggle and jump out.

Fill the container with warm water, dechlorinate, place a teaspoon or a drop of honey and stir it in or let dissolve, take some deep breaths, relax, and just pick him up. No big deal, your pacman will live through it.
