if he's young, chances are he'll grow out of it. also, there may be some environmental changes you can make so that he feels safer and and less nervous.. like providing a hide space and making sure you dont feed him in his enclosure.
with some work, you've got a good chance that he'll turn out alright.... although some snakes never really take to a human liking...

: I got my first snake 4 weeks ago it is a juvenile black rat. My problem is whenever I go anywhere near him it repeatidly bites me. Although it is not painful it does draw blood and is anoying.Will he grow out of this or should I get a pair of gloves for when he gets bigger? Is this unusual. Thanks for any advice.
