Is dont know if this works for most snakes but like spmeome else mentioned before I too have a pissy snake and when I walk around holding him and moving him a lot he doesn't get as bitey as when I just stand still holding him.
Also when handling just try to keep the head away from you as best as possible. The best tip is to get used to being bit. Then it won't be as big a deal when it happens while you tame him. I know that might sound crazy but even a carpet that size bits aren't too big a deal unless you get it in the eye or something. It could take months and months for him to tame down depending in how bad he is right now. If you hold him for say 20-30 minutes how many times does he bite you?
Also you have to make sure that you don't put him back in the cage until he is calm. If he is biting you and you aren't waiting long enough and then put him back that will just teach him that if I bite enough they will put me down.
