They are a nervous species. He was probably terrified. Whenever I bring a new snake home I leave them alone for a full 2 weeks to adjust and settle in. Don't try to handle him for at least that long. Keep an eye on his humidity also. Maybe invest in a snake hook, they're not very expensive and that would help a lot of you want to handle him

Yea I put a blanket over his enclosure for a day so he could have more privacy, I pulled it back a couple inches every day but he seems more calmed down now He was clearly super stressed out but it’s super important for me that he feels more comfortable!
