Corns don't usually bite. That's one of the reasons they're a good choice for a first snake. The reason he is biting may be due to rodent odor on the hands, restricted movement meaning she is stopping him from going where he wants to. Also, have you reduced the handling or opening of his cage to just feeding time? If so, you need to handle him more often and put him back in without feeding. They do learn that when the cage is opened, food is coming.
