As a baby BPs tend to be more aggressive. As they grow they will start trusting you more. Just stay away from the head and you'll be fine. If you can get the snake out of the tank then chances of it biting you are small. He might actually strike at something in close proximity (another person's hand for example) while in your hands so be careful not to drop him/her. Mine has that done many times.

P.S. Yours is only 10 inches? Wow, that's very small.
