My Snow female used to shake her tail (rattle) every time I opened her enclosure, she calmed down after about a month of handling, she was about 6 months at the time.
On the other hand my one male is so calm that when he is fed he will always take his feed gently when fed and pull a little on it until I release his food, he will then proceed to eat.
Most of my snake are aggressive eaters, but the point here is that when handled correctly and often a snake will get used to you and calm down when being handled.
