Okay, the issue in this thread is that your snake is aggressive. If you want to tame your baby snake, move it to a ten gallon. You might think they need to stretch out and climb around but trust me they don't. A bit of cruising in the night is fine but they don't need a lot of space for that. If you are concerned about exercise, think about how much exercise they get just from eating their food. Constricting that is like a total body workout for them.
The 110g is way to big. Period. If you want to keep it, get a snake that will be able to live in that sized tank healthily. From the sounds of your setup and the few pictures you have provided, a ball python will not thrive (or be docile for that matter) in that enclosure. It just won't happen.
Ball pythons (whether yours "likes to climb" or not) are GROUND dwelling snakes. They spend all of their time on the ground or underground. So putting them in this huge 2ft tall tank is really overkill. You still need to heat and cool that unused space accordingly and that takes a lot of stuff. Probably the only way to do it would be with lamps and those would KILL your humidity (which is also required for a ball python to survive).
As for your hides, think smaller. The smaller the better. I offer hides that my BPs don't fit in. They just curl up under them and basically wear them as hats. I can tell that they are content because they are not scared when I hold them and they have a very strong feeding response. Ditch the half logs.
If you want your baby to grow into a nice docile snake, get it out of the 110g and never put it back in there. The max (and this is only for a HUUUGE female) would be a 30g long. Or if you want to go the tub route, a 42qt tub. Once you move your snake to a smaller enclosure and fix your husbandry, give it a week of alone time. Don't handle him, feed him, and mess with his enclosure the least amount possible. After that, he should be much more content with his surroundings.
