Mine really only get handled for cleaning. Some can be a little twitchy or head shy, but that's pretty normal. I also have some that are extremely tame and will lay in your lap for hours, even though they are only handled once a week for a few seconds. Those few snakes are the ones I pull out if someone just wants to hold a snake, so they do get some experience a few times a year I guess.

As for what to do. Once the snake is settled and eating you can take it out and handle it whenever you want. If you are scared of being bit you can always wear gloves till the snake settles down. It's better to wear gloves and be comfortable holding the snake, than to drop the snake if it startles you.
