    This is a case of your inexperience coming through. You are not socializing your snake no matter how much you handle it. They are not like dogs. They have brains the size of a black eyed pea. They do not think at higer levels, and do not socialize. They tolerate handling, some more than others. They get used to handling, some more than others, but they do not socialize. They do not seek out our presence.

    You are asking for a stressed out snake with feeding issues. I'm starting to understand why it was so freaked out in the first place.
