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. |

| 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! |
