If you do decide to make the hole bigger, try starting a new hole further away from the snake. Use a small blunt object to probe through the drywall first just to ensure that the snake is not there and your not going to hurt it if you start a hole in that area. Then you could work on joining the two holes together to make one large one, hopefully large enough to get at more of his body so you can remove him without harm. There's plenty of how-to videos and guides on the internet to help you patch up the hole once you have your snake out. You'll have to be prepared to be bit by him as well from the sounds of things, just be sure that if he does bite you that you don't panic.
As for how aggressive he is, that could change once you get him back into his enclosure.
