    Well as your sig shows, you own a lot of snakes so probably not needing to say this but you should give the snake about a month to settle in and get going good with feeding, pooping, shedding. Then after that, you can start slowly working with them. Start off by just picking them up in their cage and letting them sit on you hand. How long have you had the snake? You said it ate 2 meals, went into shed and then ate again, so a month? Some snakes are just more high strung than others and will take longer and more work to calm down. If the snake doesn't want to be messed with, my advice is just give it a couple more weeks and just clean the cage, change water and do normal routine and assuming you don't stress the snake out, it will eventually realize you aren't a giant who is going to eat it. Trying to force a snake to "like" you will just stress it out more and can actually do more damage than help.
