Yes it was probably stress related, giving them a week to settle in is ideal. I know it's suuuuuper hard to be hands off for that long (at least it was for me) but it really is better overall for the snake's well being, both physical and mental.
Will be getting more hide spots today and a background for the tank and now I'll order a thermostat online. No probably keeping hands off, it's just different for us because we always handle them repeatedly when we get them to make sure they're socialized. Will adding more hidespots and a background stress him out even more? Also if the aggression is still there after a week any suggestions? Just thinking ahead.
Thanks for everything!
