Crazy Male Behavior?

This is my first year breeding, and I am seeing some really strange behavior from one of my males. He is going nuts in his cage. He is in a Freedom Breeder rack. He is a het stripe and I have been pairing him with a stripe and another het stripe since November. I have witnessed several locks and now the females seem to be rejecting his advances. He is just tearing his cage apart, knocking over his water, moving is hide, and tearing up the paper on the bottom. Is this normal? Is it because he is picking up the scent of the other snakes in the rack, making him want to breed more? If so, is it the scent of the other females or males? Would now be a good time to put him with some of my less enthuastic breeders for a little sparring session? Any input is appreciated.
