New CAGE AGGRESSIVE addition..

This past Saturday I attended the Monthly Reptile meeting with my Retic. I took her to the show for some experts to answer some questions. A raffle was being held for various items, but one caught my interest. A Male Titanium Tiger Retic which was the grand prize.. I was convinced there was no chance with 100+ in attendance and most were trying for the Retic.
I won him and he is beautiful, but I'm trying to stick with super dwarfs and dwarfs. He's a 2014 and as small as he is, I thought maybe he is a sd or dwarf, but Prehistoric Pets Mrs Brewer said, he's a mainland retic..
He's cage aggressive like I've never seen. Prehistoric Pets slow fed him from what I was told to control his size, but he's nowhere near the size my sd/d is.
Could the controlled feeding and minimal human contact be why he's always striking or ready to when I open the enclosure?
I assume the only contact he got was feeding and cleaning and as many Retics as PP hatches, I'm assuming they're not taking these hatchlings and juvenile snakes out much if any at all.
From all your experience, could he become more docile.
I open his enclosure and I'm not sure if he's expecting a meal since he just got his second small rat yesterday and I've only had him 5 days or if he just doesn't like humans. He strike at me no matter what I'm doing or where I reach in his enclosure. I'm building a set of large enclosures.
Another concern.. If I decide to keep him, is it best to keep him in a smaller tank till he settles down or put him in the larger enclosure?
