Hi.
Are you experienced with handling snakes?There are certain rules. Also what is the temperature in the viv? If it is not warm enough the snake will become grouchy and snap at you, aslong as the snake is fairly young and you persist there is no reason why he cannot be tamed. But if he snaps all the time I'm guessing theres a reason for it. Tom |

How long since you moved him? Maybe he's stressed fronm the move. Like when you buy a new snake its advisable not to handle or disturb for a good few weeks to let settle in.
Other than that just persist with him. Handle with gloves initially if your worried about bites to let him get used to you and his njew surroundinhgs. Tom |

My first corn was like that.
What I did was wear gloves and do not pull your hand away if he/she goes for you. Let it get it out of its system in a bite frenzy, until it realises that you mean it no harm. My one is now the softest of all my snakes. |
