No, I don't think bp's in captivity recognize the seasonal changes as they would in the wild unless you are doing night temperature drops and cycling them. Some certainly may but most wont. Invariably they will get the urge to breed throughout the year especially if they smell receptive females. Your husbandry seems to be correct and you pretty much have ruled out illness. I would ask how are his bowel and urinary habits? Then I think it would be a good idea to increase the feeding intervals and see what happens. Maybe he just isn't hungry? Maybe he wants a different food item?
