Also I want to add. Snakes never really get used to you. It's more you get used to them and they tolerate you. You gotta keep in mind, they are not domesticated. They are still as wild as it comes. Most balls are very docile and will never strike. But all can. Just keep that in mind.
I also am on the same side of the fece as to leaving it alone for a few weeks. You may be doing more harm than good by handling it everyday. Maybe it doesn't want to be handled that often and you're stressing it out more.
My suggestion would be to leave it alone for 2 weeks apart from feeding and general maintenance. Then try handling for half hour or so every few days, working up to more and more as time goes by.
You don't want to end up with a dude like this:

That is my calico. Grumpy dude. Of I handle him lots he doesn't eat. So I leave him alone. But I try to handle him every few days or so for a bit. I don't really want a 2000g snake that's this mad.
