yea...make him more afraid of you...good idea!
Balls bite for 2 reasons, they either think you are food (unlikely) or more often it is a defensive thing. Look at it from their perspective...they aren't too smart and don't know that you aren't going to eat them or step on them...so they bite you. When approaching ANY snake, don't put your hands out in front of its mouth, its just a bad idea. Distract it with something then pick it up from its mid-section...and be gentle. Most won't strike large objects (like your belly), but will strike noses, toes, fingers, etc.
