I'll add something more. Handle as little as possible. When you do handle, however, don't reach straight for the snake. Place your hand in the tank and let it know you're there so it isn't surprised to see you. Frightened snakes = nippy snakes. I know from experience as I use snake-proof glass enclosures as well. And this was already mentioned but cover up three sides of the tank with dark paper. Your snake will feel much more secure.
