Be persistant, I had a male jungle that scared the life out of me when I first got him, but now due to constant handling he's an angel, and last night I quite comfortabley handed him to my 6yr old step daughter.
Tell your brother to stop acting like a tree, because how is his snake supposed to get used to movement and being handled if he remains still the whole time.
Take the advice of people saying try not to touch them around their head, because it is threatening.
Snakes are pets and a part of the family just like dogs, I wouldn't have a pet I couldn't interact with, ornaments are supposed to stay behind glass and never be touched, not our beloved animals.
So, be brave keep up the handling, just be gentle and respect the snake.
Good Luck
