Chances are it is very stressed. You drove 5 hours in a car then put it in a new home. Added stress can make a snake grumpy and defensive. I was giving a corn snake to a friend of mine a few weeks ago. It was extremely chill and never acted afraid or defensive in any way. When I dropped it off at my friends it tried to bite him repeatedly. A few weeks later and it’s back to being calm and easy going. I’d leave it alone for a week or so.
