If a snake doesn't want to be held it will do this while you are holding it. When you put it back it teaches the snake that this works nd it will keep doin it. If you want it to stop you need to keep holding it until it calms down. Could take. Reply long time or not depending on the snake. If you want him to eventually become more handleable you need I put up with the ba behaviour. Not doin so is rewarding him for it and will keep it happening.
