I have a texas rat snake that bites me all the time, whenever he doesn't feel like being nice really! I am used to it and I expect it and go on handling him just the same. Don't get too worried about it!
If you're worried, I keep a pair of work gloves in my snake room, you may want to pick up a pair and use those to pick your snake up for the first couple times, to be safe.
