Putting him in with other ball pythons will only add to his aggravation, I would keep him alone. As others said, sometimes they will grow out of it, sometimes they won't.

One thing that I have found to be true, even with evil snakes, is that consisten schedule and handling helps. He may never be friendly, but may calm down and tolerate handling for cage removal, cleaning and so on. Younger snakes can be more defensive to protect themselves. Hopefully with size and age he will grow more confident and calm down a bit.

No idea how long you've had him, but I would leave him alone for a month or so and let him adjust to his new setup. Offer meals on a consistent schedule and just leave him beeeeeee as much as possible.
