My coastal carpet python was the same, except I got him when he was about 1m 20cm so I was a bit more worried about getting bitten... Whenever you actually touched him he would get very panicked and try to strike, and he still shows this behaviour sometimes even when out of his enclosure because he feels threatened by being grabbed. The only way I was ever able to get him out was with a hook. Also, it is much easier to get him out when he is in his hide because he is already relaxed and you can just scoop him right up. If he is out of his enclosure he is usually more alert and more willing to strike. Your little guy may also not feel safe in such a big enclosure - but try the hides hopefully this all helps!
