More than likely I would suspect this is a wild caught blood.
First and foremost, ALL baby snakes have a tendency to be "foul" tempered. Its the name of the game. "I will hurt you so you do not kill me"
Second there is a different way to handling bloods. People who have complained about their temperment to me often restrain when handling. Bloods DO NOT tolerate restraint or rough handling.
They make a challenging snake. Pretty precise care is needed for them. They are a bit more advanced than a ball python. But other than that get thru the baby nippy-ness and you should be fine.
Take a few moments to look over the care sheet I attached below. BTW a 50 or 60 lb Blood would be INSANELY huge and twice the average size. Males are smaller, like most snakes and they really hover around 5-6 feet with females topping out in the 25 lb range. Large snakes are possible, but most will be low 20's.
