Just a note - pet store prices are always higher than breeder or show prices, and that is justifiable - it is costly to run and staff a retail operation. So don't feel like you were ripped off.
He'll calm down for you as you handle him more and more.
I personally let the nasty snakes bite me - as I think it helps them figure out that biting isn't going to make me put them down.
Wear a long sleeve shirt and gloves if you are scared. Small snake bites though generally are relatively painless.
