Just keep hasndling for short periods until it gets confidence and knows that you are not a threat to it. They usually respond very well to this and become tame very quickly.

Thats normal corn behaviour, both hatchlings and a lot of adults. They generally remain shy, but as mourne said, gain in confidence once they know you wont hurt them and they get used to coming out. Best advice i can give is to handle 4-5 days out of 7, starting with just 3-4 mins, and slowley increacing the time, which you'll be able to judge nicley once you get to know the snake better and it's behavoiur.
