New Milksnake

First of all. Hi to everyone. I have a question please. I bought my milk snake about 2 weeks ago, I handled it at the pet shop and it seemed fine, and the day I brought it home, it bit me. Now I am a bit scared to handle it, it is still very small, about 1.5ft but I don’t want to upset it more by trying to get it used to me handling it. My ball python is very happy with me handling it, but this one seems to freak out when I try to handle it. I know now that the bite is not bad at all and really want to be able to hold it like I do with the python. Can anyone please give me some guidelines on how to go about this little one not freaking out when I pick it up. It urinated on me as well which is some sort of a defence mechanism so obviously it feels threatened. Please can someone help me, or tell me what to do.
