If this started when you moved into the new place, you need to give the snake time to get used to the new place and smells. Also like mentioned, some snakes just don't like being handled that much and they get cranky. Also some snakes will get cranky when going into shed. I know my big BCI isn't that fond of being messed with when she is going into shed. She usually will sit in her hide for a week and only comes out to drink. I respect that and leave her alone. I think its time for you to look into another snake to add to the collection so you can spread the love haha. Look into a boa, they generally love to be held and out. Both my BCI girls love to come out and sit on me or the couch or bed. Bottom line is let the snake go a couple weeks in the new place with handling only a couple times a week and see he mellows out. This is of course assuming all the husbandry is the same aka temps, humidity, hides etc.
