First of all, that is a freaking awesome snake!! I love it!!!!
I believe you answered your own question.
You say you feed him more than any other adult? Well, that is why, IMO, he is chowing on you there. He is used to being fed more than any other adult. It is a response to being fed so much. A lot of times, that is misinterpreted as being starved. There could be nothing further from the truth. All my kings do nothing of the sort, be it graybands, cal kings, brooks, or Mtn. Kings. They are all completely calm and are fed well, but not excessively.
If he is being fed so often, he is probably associating the cage being opened with food, each and every time. He is not starving. To say he is starving, especially after looking at your pics, would be completely unjust.
Great snake, beautiful, and to me, a healthy weight. I really like him! Is he an axanthic??
Take care!
