What should i do? Every time i pick him up he goes mad! This morning he threw himself on the floor! Is it a good idea to handle him daily when he's going mad everytime?

You should handle your new corn on a regular basis. It's scared of you in the sense that it's survival instincts tell it (and all newborns) to hide. It has no idea that you mean it no harm and must come to realize that your touch isn't life threatening. It will take time, so be patient and very gentle. Don't squeeze the snake if it feels like it's slipping thru your fingers, but place your other hand in front for it to crawl to. Also, don't hold the snake while you're standing. Sit down to reduce the distance to the floor in case the baby does happen to fall. While you're
sitting, the snake will feel much more secure in your lap rather than dangling 3ft off the floor while you're standing.

Most baby snakes are so full of energy and don't want to be handled much. Older snakes have less energy and just tolerate being picked up. It's a good idea to keep handling your baby snake once in a while though so it gets used to you. Just don't overdo it to where the snake ends up getting stressed though. Maybe a few minutes every three days or so would be enough. =)

My ex husband used to carry our snakes around in his shirt pocket and hold them and just let them be busy until they quieted down and slept. Just hold the snake quietly and don't be hyper or nervous or anything. It takes time to hand tame a snake and it is best to get used to each other now rather than when it is bigger and has stronger jaws and slightly larger teeth. Now if it gets mad and bites then it won't even break the skin. Just don't stress it too much and give it plenty of quiet time as well.
Have fun with your new pet. They are lots of fun.
