Exactly as Miss B said, if it is new, leave it alone for a while to settle in, moving a snake into a new home is very stressful for them, being handled on top of that really stresses them. Give him a few weeks to settle in, then follow a few simple rules;

1.) Wash your hands and arms thoroughly before handling the snake, &
2.) Be slow and confident with your movements and fully support the snake's weight, &
3.) Minimise disturbances in the area where you are handling the snake as much as possible, eg remove other pets, and have as few people around a possible (eg dont try handling him when you have a party going on).

Good luck Snakko
