Not all snakes are the same, and saying they all are is rediculous, some like to be held, some like to hide, some like to sit in there water dish, some you have to poke to make sure they are still alive. Yours loves attention and seems to always wanna be with you, congrats, your snake thinks its a puppy. The tank is fine, he is eating for you, and not spitting the food back up, and he does have the places to go if he wants to. I say go ahead and play with him as you usally do and just keep to your normal schld you two have. Dont read too much into it unless he stops eating or spits it back up.
