..my white snakes are so wierd. (pics too)

I have these two characters..Starscream and Zephyr. They are by far the WIERDEST snakes I have ever owned. Zephyr is the calmer of the two, and Starscream can be quite calm when she wants to, set aside the fact of her being so neurotic.She does not like children, as when she was only about 8 months old, (stupid me) I let my nephew hold her, and he dropped her...it is amazing how animals can remember things, as she struck at only "little people" through the glass for the next two weeks after that and I have not felt comfortable with her being around children since, due to the occasional nip or threat strike....however adults can pick her up and handle her no problem.She only eats f/t or p/k that is handed to her on a silver platter. If the mouse is alive, she'll take a test nip at it, then look up at me as if to say, "well, aren't ya gonna kill it for me??!!!" . Zephyr on the other hand has to have a hide to "sneak away" into after he's killed the prey item. He will also stop eating and stare at me if i peek into the feeding box to check on him....feeding resumes when I leave. I originally got these guys as babies...had em' for almost three years and are just starting to mate for the fist time......
It seems like lately, whenever i scoop the cage and fill the bowl with fresh clean water,they mate. Whenever I feed them, they mate.....right afterwards. It is the freakiest thing I have ever seen...Zephyr "undulates" his whole body, and she does this wierd "jerky twitch dance" thing....and all the while they turn the cage into a complete disaster,thrashing about and throwing their bodies every which way:upending their water bowl and soaking the bedding,filling the bowl with bedding they happened to shove in there,knocking every thing over, and some things that were on the right side of the cage somehow ended up on the left. What's even crazier is the fact that sometimes Starscream will randomly do the jerky twitch thing sometimes when I am holding her....
