I might put him in the twenty for a while to see how he reacts, but changing environments is like the most stressful thing so idk how much ense that makes. idk, when i had my old snake in a ten gallon he would just sit in his hide all day, and at night he would just go back n forth, and see the same over n over, atleast now in the 110 the snake can pick from a variety of hides, climbs, heat levels, and generalized humidity.
A hiding snake is a happy snake. Cruising around and climbing on things is a sign of STRESS which is why your snake is aggressive.

Changing environments is stressful but after a week, they should be settled in and will be happier in the long run.

Your snake can get sick if the temps are too low (which I am sure they are in something so huge). Having the top covered doesn't help.

If you are worried about spending too much money then maybe you have made a mistake. With any animal comes a responsibility to be able to provide for it. This means having extra money for food, vet bills and if needed, new equipment.

I think dividing the tank might be a good option. You could try that. I wouldn't start handling regularly until the snake is eating on a steady schedule.
