You'll need to get a clear plastic rigid tube just big enough in diameter for him to slither into and a couple of feet long. Most aquarium shop carry different sizes. Get at least a foot or so of his body in the tube before you inject him. This may well be a 2 person job. Tubing the snake will protect you and make him easier to handle.
Once you have him positioned in the tube then you can inject him. They're smart enough to know what's going on so after the first time it may be a bit of a contest to get him in again. Once he is in the tube you'll either need some help or to grow an extra hand to keep him in and give him the injection.
Have the syringe prepared before you put him in the tube. FWCs are experts and slithering backwards and having no necks they slip out of hands and tubes quickly and easily if you are not paying close attention.
Good luck.
