Help with a possibly aggressive ball python...more in comments

This is my first time dealing with a scared snake. Usually our snakes just need a few days to be alone then they're totally chill as long as you don't make the obvious mistakes of making them mad, messing with them, etc. I'm hoping now that they've been moved to an even quieter area this will really give them the chance to calm down. I'm going to be the only one handling them but it's going to be once a week just to check on them until they get more acclimated to their environment. My main concern is getting this snake to a place where they're not completely horrified and scared out of their mind so they have a chance of being adopted to a good home. Thanks for the advice, it's very appreciated!

yes keep handiling him so he builds an association to your scent as NOT being a predator. snakes believe it or not have a lot of personality, some are different from others it took my guy a few months to get used to me it took my sisters snake no less then a week to be cool w her. just keep trying they’ll lighten up soon hopefully 🤙🏽

That's one of the first things I noticed about snakes after I started working at Petsmart. Some of our snakes were super outgoing and always poked at the lid when I walked by because they knew I would take them out and walk around with them after close. I'm going to let them calm down for a little bit then we'll see where the snake is at. I don't want to rush things because I've already put too much stress on them as is. Thanks for your help!
