im just worried about ma snake,ive had him 5 months now and he still gets scared when i go to hold him,hes fine when im holding him,but when i go to get him out he panics a bit :P sometimes hes friendlier but usually he arches his head..
i hold him once a day for about 10 minutes
:)
and hes about 6 months old :D -aww.

you have to think of the fact that to him, your a predature and therefore he will react in a defensive way, dont worry though, this should die down once he gets older.
if hes calm when your holding him then its just a game of patience for him to calm down when you go to get him.
