well the angry-ness of the snake is two fold here. 1. if it is going into shed, it can be grumpy. 2. baby kings are grumpy!

i have the same....an albino king. mine is a late 08 and is just starting to come around. i pick it up on occasion and touch her every time in get into her tub.

just go about business as usual. wait till after it sheds. keep working with it.
