It's not a dog it's a snake. You don't dangle your hand in front of its face to let him smell you. That is just asking to get bit.
And a snake not being handled isn't a bad thing. They don't want to be handled, we just want to handle them. They tolerate it but would prefer if you didn't. If they were still getting proper care but not being handled regularly that's not neglect. The snake would prefer it that way.
