Also make sure the snake is in a suitable situation to be handled.. I mean if it's hiding or sleeping or something and you just grab it then it will react with biting as a defense. Wait till it is in the open on the floor, don't try and drag it out of it's hide or off things because it will make it bite and stressful, gently touch the snake on it's body (Not the head or tail) to let it know you are there.

Then once it's aware you are there you can gently slide your hand underneath it and lift it up, don't grab hold of it cause they don't like that just support it. Also make sure you stay relaxed while handling, if you make sudden movements it'll prob freak the snake out. But if you have just newly got it you should probably leave him alone for a few days to settle.

Well this is just what i have learnt from my own snake lol anyone can correct me if need be.
