It's a Ball Python sooooo.....
Lol!
Mine is over 10 years old and still balls up often when I pull her out. She'll open up after a few minutes though and then be fine hanging around my neck or just being held.
As for moving away from your hand when being touched that's very common among many....might even say most....snakes. Even my most calm that don't usually flinch or pull away will at times.
