apperntly its having a problem trusting you and your intentions, otherwise it would be aggressive all the time. Try just lightly touching the snake in its enclosure, were it feels safe. speaking of enclosure do you maintain all the husbandries of this snake? i know there not high maintence but do you? does it have a hide box in its cage (VERY crucial). back to touching, try and show the snake your not going to hurt it. pick it up LIGHTLY LIKE IT WAS A TIME BOMB AND YOU FEAR THAT IF YOU MOVE TO FAST YOU CAN SET IT OFF. Sorry, but once you think about it, the anlogy fits. otherwise you could have to problems, 1 is solveable but expensive and the other is a b*tch to change.
1.your snake is sick, unlikely but not at the same time beacuse while it is a CBB its still a young snake, and is prone to dieases, which will sometimes make them aggressive.Whats it eating habiats like?
2.your snake is aggressive, period.
Ever hear of and amazon tree boa? its a snake thats usally nasty by its evolution, and HATES being touched and will bite. SOME are not aggressive. This might be the case with your burms. burms, while i dont know much, are supposedly docile animals.but some are just aggressive just beacuse.
also try not to spend a lot of time handling it, leave it alone for a week or two and try the ideas i mentioned above.your snake may also just be annoyed with you.
Good luck and best wishes. I hope this helps beacuse owning what some people call the worlds 3rd largest snake and it being aggressive sometimes isnt a good thing.
