As Lee says, give your baby time to settle and there is a very good care sheet on here with tons of info..

as above, give him time to settle before attempting handling, so he feels more safe and secure. Your snake is only trying to defend itself, so dont let it alarm you! |

i would give him 7-10 days to settle without hadling and just daily water changes as said already then give him a feed. |

Hi and welcome. How 'baby' is he? weeks or months? |

He's probably still a little bit unsure of his suroundings at the moment.
He should be left for a week to settle in, only changing the water.
When its time, go in with confidence and just pick him up. |
