Congrats on your firstsnake.
Dont try to quieten him down too quickly he will grow out of this habit as he becomes familiar with you. The reason for this is because you want him to be good feeder and if he looses the interest to strike too early this will make feeding more difficult.
Bites from juvies dont hurt they are similar to light scratch from a cat but just try not to flinch too much if/when he bites because teeth may dislodge opening the way for mouth infections.
