Be calm, be controlled, develop routines and habits of direct and calm approach, handling, cage maintenance, feeding, and so on. Do them over and over again so the snake can begin to recognize in their basic brains that you represent no real threat. Minimize the things that trigger the flight/fight response. Don't react to it and don't fear a bite. You can do a light head tap or a spritz of water at him to redirect him, you can put on gloves so he can't nail you, you can use a small towel, you can bloke a strike with an object like a flipped hide or whatever, but find what works and just calmly, quietly go about doing what needs done.

These snakes teach us patience.
Thanks for the tips. I just fed him last night soo ill give it a few days and then try to start in a routine with everything .
