Do you have a hide in their cage? They usually feel more secure within the cage if they know there's a retreat for them to chill out in, even if they aren't in it when you approach. I've found that even w.c. B.T.'s will calm down once handled and acclimated. Every aggressive B.T. I've had eventually calmed down. I have even got w.c. YT's to chill out. Not all of them though!
Some snakes will not ever get accustomed to being around people and being handled, but keep handling them and hopefully they calm down for you. If you have to, wear gloves to take them out for the handling. They need to get used to knowing that when you enter the cage you mean them no harm.
Hope this helps. Oh yeah, get some betadine and band aids!!!
