NEUTERING IS NOT GOING TO HELP!!!!!!
your ig is NOT agressive due to hormones! he's going INSANE because he's being kept in a glass box and OF COURSE he's going to act out when he gets the chance to actually move and of course he's going to attack the person who is responsible for putting him IN the glass box!!!!

igs live in TREES ... they NEED to CLIMB .. they NEED to be "UP" ... a 3year old ig should be 4-5 feet long and either have his own room or a LARGE enclosure AND HOURS of roaming time EVERYDAY ...

don't try to ig-proof an entire house or apt ... (i don't think it's possible!!) just ig-proof A room and let him exercise!!!! I PROMISE YOU that if you do that EVERY DAY you will see a tremendous improvement in his attitude!!!! i went thru this same thing with iZ when he outgrew his 'condo' last year ... i am lucky enough to have an understanding hubby AND a spare room ... but, even free time in a bathroom while you're at work will help! safety pin a large towel to hang on the shower curtain rod for him to climb up ... clear the stuff off the toilet tank so he can sit up there .... give him his security towel and food and water and let him play all day and it really really will help!!!!!
REALLY!
good luck and best wishes!
