I have had this guy for about a month or so now, he is eating very well, and shed about a week ago. He is by far the nastiest Ball Python I have, will bite!

Nice snake!
Just my experience but in my collection, the nasty hatchlings and yearlings are the best feeders.
When given the opportunity to sort through CH, I always check out the nippy ones as well as the ones that catch my eye.

He eats very well, so there could be something to the fact that nippy = good feeder. BUT, the Ember Balls are docile, and PIGS too...

Try handling him just a little bit a day or two after he's had a good meal - I've found that's usually when those nippy ones are most docile - when they have a full tummy. He'll most likely grow out of it.
