Lower cage temp to between 82 - 85 and after a few days start handling it often. Too high temps make for a cranky snake.

Use a snake hook, golf club or something other than your hand to get it out of its cage. Once out of the cage it should start to settle down a bit.

Gloves can come in handy, as already mentioned, and so can a long sleeve shirt/sweatshirt.

Hang in there & keep us posted.
