Nippy snakes

My new texas rat snake Otto has become really nippy. We were warned in the petstore that he was the most agressive snake in the store, but I was able to handle him twice at the store without problems, and twice at home. The other day I had him on a couch to show my dad and he wandered off a little too far, when I tried to pick him up he quickly snapped at me. I tried again a few times but he kept snapping. He hid under the couch and it took us a good 20 minutes to get him out.

Is there any way to work with snakes with behavior problems? Like handling him every day? I would just like to have him used to people so I can clean his tank without problems, and vet visits, etc.
