Yes, that is all VERY typical behavior for very young milksnakes. They will become more accustomed to your handling as they get bigger too. Right now the tiny snake sees you as a big giant predator that intends to do great bodily harm to him/her..LOL! But as several more months of gentle handling go by, you should notice a significant change in it's behaviour, and by about the yearling stage, most are very easy-going when gently handled. This just goes with the territory of owning milks, and just a little patience is needed, you just need to "roll" with it for a while, and let them be a milksnake, this is just how most of them are are, and especially at this age
