Yeah, baby snakes are just scared, that's all. You need to handle it more. Don't be startled, just pick it up, hold it for a while. If it calms down that's good if it tries to get away let it hide in the crook of your arm or bury it's head in your pocket. The more contact with you the more it will tame down. I have a bunch of babies right now and most of them are pretty flighty, some will just sit in my hand while most try to get away.
I would say your tank is too big for the snake. My babies are in half gallon size "Gladware" containers. The year old ones are in the plastic shoe box size containers. Really, the size of your cage could be your problem.
