Just handle it lots. Secret is just accept you are going to get bitten for a while but once you actually get used to it it's not that bad. The biggest mistake is putting them back or not picking them up if they bite. They learn biting gets them what they want.

Yes, im afraid theres no quick fix to this. If you handle them on a regular basis, and they know that your not going to hurt them, then they start to learn to trust you. You probably will get struck at for a while, as said dont let snake see it bothers you. They are quick at learning how to make you leave them alone.
