Your pet is a male,showing healthy courtship behavior,(well to him it seems healthy! ) get him a mate!...why does he make you the focus of his amorous instinct? who can really say for sure? We have no real idea how our serpentine companions really think,or see the world,but we know that their instinctive drives are controlled by cues,both environmental,and olfactory. It might be as overly simple as : you are his only stimulation! When not being held,he's cruising in,or sitting in a cage...the instinctive drive to reproduce is perhaps second only to the search for food,(and I'd bet during certain times of the year it takes precedence!),once his hunger can take a backseat.....guess what takes over?
Just a thought,but why not give it a try?
