I have a quick question, does anyone have any tips of the best way to handle a 4 foot corn that is scared/nervous/new?

I know of the method of letting him slide to one hand to the next until he calms down, that works well for a smaller snake but how would that work for a 4 foot snake, since I need 2 hands to hold him.

I ask because I got him last week and I gave him a 'settling in' period and now I'd like to start handling him.
I did handle him to switch him to a bigger tank, should I perhaps give him another week to settle in that tank?

He's very frighten when I walk close by and darts to one of his hides and stays there until I leave (then comes out) then when he sees me again he does the same thing.

Should I maybe just wait until he gets used to me getting near his cage first?

I really don't mind waiting as long as it takes since I plan on having him for a long time, I just don't want to overly stress him out by 'forcing' him to be held.

Sorry for the rambling.
Thanks in advance.
