Okay, it sound like he is starting to get around the size and age they generally become a bit more tolerant of handling then. It is usually around that size or better that they gradually start becoming better about.

Good luck with the little guy. I'd still probably limit the handling to maybe a couple times a week, and it will get better as time goes by and the snake gets more used to you. It really depends on the individual snake and how well they acclimate to being out and handled. Yours seems pretty typical and par for the course with handling.
