Is that heat tape actually in the tank or is it just showing through the glass?

I would give him a few weeks of correct care and then re-evaluate his personality, he may just mellow out once he's fed and more comfortable. Also boas are usually defensive not aggressive.
There is no sticky tape in the enclosure of course, its from the outside
He has a pool with water, still haven't seen him drink.
Correctly said - he is defensive yes. Hope he calms down, that tail may also be bothering him? in close it looks like a end of sausage
