You must remember that snakes are prone to be defensive when they believe they are under attack from above. If you have aspen substrate slip your hand under the corn and lift him out. Another thing to try is to wash your hands to remove odors and put on a gardening glove on one hand to bring him out and then remove the glove when he is calm. Handle him a lot and soon you won't need the glove. I've used that method on snakes that were seldom handled and after the first time the glove wasn't needed. I don't mind it when a snake strikes but I don't want it to latch on to my hand.
