Why would he not return it if he's uncomfortable around it? You're now dealing with a stressed out snake and a stressed out owner. My opinion is that it's time to move on.

PS - No fair editing after I've already started my reply.
So if he purchased from a breeder and was uncomfortable around it, you'd also suggest that he return it?

What's done is done - I think a more appropriate response would be to help him work through WHY his new baby is acting stressed - which is perfectly normal for a first day home with a new owner bothering him and not allowing him time to get settled.
