hi and welcome. how big is it and how long have you had it for. hoggies are not the best snake for handerling but once we know more info we can sugest some things. what sort of set up have you got it in
Do you know what the temps are in there? Only reason I ask is because I can't see a thermometer and if the temps aren't correct then that could be causing your snake to be a bit irritable
I would agree that a light bulb isn't a good heat source as a stand alone. They are good for the day time, but shouldn't be kept on all the time as hoggy's need to distinguish between night and day.
Handling is something you build up over time. Not all snakes like it but they can get used to tollerating it if you handle them regulary enough.
my advice is to get a thermometer and a stat if you havent already. by getting the set up correct first it will make the snake happier and maybe more willing to be handled
