To quote Doug Mong:

"Well, sometimes that is the case, and other times the more frequently they are handled, the more frquently you get bitten."

Some snakes tame down with regular human interaction and some snakes remain unfriendly their entire lives. However in my limited experience with one that young if you gently handle it often it will likely settle down....operative word being LIKELY.
