Well, if you are still so afraid of him, you can try to find him a new home with someoene that will take care of him. I used to be the same way and even now, there are certain snakes that i won't handle (my big BCI's) and just my boyfriend does. If you decide to keep him, then next time you have him out, close your eyes and just feel his body language. He hasn't bitten you yet, even with you jumping and being afraid, the chances are that he isn't going to by you just handling him.
