I'll be the voice of dissent. I really don't care if mine hiss or not. Sometimes they are just having a bad day. They don't have any way to really communicate like our furred friends.

If you had a cat that was hissing at you, would you read their signs that they are unhappy and let them be, or would you force them to continue to endure what made them unhappy?

It's not teaching the snake anything, forcing them to continue to be handled if they are stressed out and trying to tell you to "hiss off".

From Another post, others have commented that he's very thin. Rather than try to "tame" him right now, I'd focus more on rehabilitating him, and slowly getting him up to a healthy weight before starting with a lot of handling sessions.
