In my experience, most hatchlings are nippy for a while. In a 30 gal tank a hatchling should have a couple of hides that are snug enough to make it feel secure. As the snake becomes more comfortable and secure the nippiness will fade away and handling will be a joy. Also if your tank has a screen top you should cover about 90% of it with plastic or something to help retain humidity.
