Excessive biting

My new corn keeps biting everytime i stick my hand in the tank. I know they bite at first but settle down in a few weeks or months. It's been 3 months and my hand is all chewed out that it cant take it any more, please give me some suggestions.
 
Are you feeding in the viv? How often do you handle your snake? Feeding in the viv can sometimes lead to your snake associating your hand with food, triggering a feeding strike. If you don't handle your snake much, it could also be still nervous. Does your snake settle down after you've handled it for a while, or does it keep trying to bite?
