Snake suck in feed mode, or has he turned evil?

[Salamander Rising]

His hunger strike was undoubtedly brought on by a new cage. But husbandry is spot on and he's obviously settled in and ready to eat, be it man or rat. He has been on a 7 day schedule up until this recent hunger strike. Usually feed every Friday, but the other day he was actually acting hungry so I took the opportunity. Then he was still hungry two days later so I figured hey, can't hurt. He'll definitely be going back to every 7 days now that he's eaten something that should last him that long.

Most of my snakes are suddenly eating like starving psychos and even the 'sweet' ones are leaping out of their tubs for their food.

If it's not feeding day, they're tracking me like little nasty Copperheads, hoping for more food.

One literally launched out of his tub, grabbed the rat midair, constricted so hard it exploded rat guts and blood everywhere and then hung there, halfway out of the tub until he was sure it was 'deader' and then slowly, creepily slithered back into his tub to inhale it.

{{{shudder}}}

Somebody here said it was breeding season related.

They're eating good so whatever it is, I'm not complaining.
