New Burm

I just got a burmese python and he is a baby he is very healthy. The only problem with him is he is a little jumpy and semi agressive (expected) anyway I was wondering what people have done here to get their snakes to calm down ? Right now its hard to even pick him up but im gonna give him a week to get use to his new cage then try to handle him some more. Well anysuggestions would be appreciated

As you said, it's to be expected. Give him some time to settle down and then handle him short periods of time each day. I would say within a week he will calm right down.
