it'll prob be more likely to do with smells, some snakes hate certain perfumes/aftershaves etc...

It may also come down to confidence. If you are nervous then your body reactions will show it. For example i guess you are very nervous about picking him up so your movements will be jerky, this will likely look to the snake like you are either a predator or a prey item, both elicit a bite response
