He could be looking for a female too. Males of many species get rather roamy during mating season. It is sometimes hard to predict when this "season" will occur for animals new to you or wc as their internal calendars can get messed up. They often are so distracted they don't eat much during this time. Make sure he can't see a partial reflection of himself anywhere near the cage. Window glass? Shiny metal surfaces? A mirror?



As for the remaining skin on his head, this area of skin doesn't really flex much so it can take longer for the skin to loosen. As long as the skin is not discolored, puffy edges, or looking like there is infection starting underneath, not a big problem. If he's OK with some handling you could very gently rub at it with a soft piece of towel and then spray as usual.
