Simple things like using a hook to pick it up, and then letting the snake hold you (not you holding it, never put pressure on a baby, they are delicate) will put less stress on it.
If you're reaching down with your big meat hands to grab it like a kid with a worm, it will freak out.

Only predators come from above, and grab hold.

Letting the snake keep its own grip on you I've found is a good way for the baby to calm down. They don't want to fall off, anymore than you want to fall down a flight of stairs, so they will hold on, there needs to be no squeezing involved and just gentle manipulation if it starts to try and go up your sleeve or something.
I've found that with my spotted python if you want him to go away from somewhere, pushing from under him keeps him calmer than poking him from the top.
I always bring my hand up under him when he is 'walking' on my hands.

Move slowly, and with no jerky movements, simply because predators move fast.
And don't put him back straight after he bites you, he might want to go back, but you don't want him to learn to associate biting with going back to a hide, or he will continue to do it.

I would continue to handle him for short periods regularly, so he gets used to it. And stay patient! As has been said, he is just a scardy little baby, he's not mean or vicious. So try and avoid scaring him at all costs.

All of these things have worked for me, with my little spotted python. I've had him since feb, and he was born in december. Last time he so much as struck at me was two months ago and that was purely handler error, normally he is a very calm and happy snake.
JMHO. Good luck!

( Please don't think I'm ripping on you, I have no idea how you handle your snake. I'm just saying what the most common ways of ******* off or scaring a little snake are.)
