At least he tried to help out and answered the asked question..

What was the point of your post ?

Anyway, idiots aside...

The best way that I found to tame them (not that im an expert with only 2, but its worked for me)

Get the snake out 2 or 3 times a day for about 5-10mins max.. and just hold them, let them become used to it and wait for them to start moving around by themselves...

Then after a day or two start gently and slowly swapping them from hand to hand etc.. then start doing what you want, cause after 3 to 4 days both of mine calmed down so mauch that you could almost do a rope skip with them

Just dont give up ! its well worth the effort.

Dont be scared if it tried to bite you, as it doesnt really hurt.. and as other have said, dont put them down right after they snap.. or they learn from it

Cheers, hope it helps !

Edit:
And I always use a hook to get them out as well..
