I have not personally tried this method. This video is a Justin Kolbylka Pro tips video i found a while ago to help with aggressive hatchlings. If your snake is small like the one in the video and your confortable with the method, it may help. If not i often read short handleing sessions 5-15 minutes at a time will start to help and eventually they will calm down.
