Question Corn Snake Advice?

ALRIGHT, so a few days ago I bought my first Corn Snake, I fell in love with him at the store and after some research I decided that it'd be a good way to get into the snake world.

I tried to share a pic of himbut it wouldn't let me, I guess because I only just joined, so I'll add one later when I can.

He was a little mad when I first brought him home but he's getting quite comfortable in the tank I bought him.

My question comes in that he burrowed into the aspen almost immediately, and I haven't seen him come out.

I did google and find out that this is normal and he's making little tunnels to sleep in and be comfortable, but I'm wondering how, after giving him like a week to get comfortable, I get him used to being handled?

He wasn't aggressive by any means, aside from when he had to be driven home and even then he didn't strike. But I don't want to traumatize him or anything by digging him from the bedding to get him used to me or to feed him?

Am I worrying too much about it? Do I need to wait for him to come out then take him out? Any extra tips would be appreciated.
