hi most ball pythons are head shy and do not like to have their head touched. the best way to make your snake 'like' you is to handle it. i would give your snake a week or so to get used to their new house. (or so meaning longer)
heres a great care sheet on ball pythons. if you read it and implement it you should have no problems.
