Well first off I would lose the bananas and tofu. These are not recommended items and can cause problems down the road.

As far as his behavior, it sounds like he is a healthy male alright! He is trying to be king of the house, assert his dominance, and mate with everyone he fancies. The luv sock is a good idea for you and I encourage you to shove it in his mouth anytime he tries to lunge at you. Don't let him look into mirrors-- this will probably get him crazier. Keep track of his mood and don't take any chances when he shows signs of aggression. Learn when to backoff and give him his space. As some have done on this board, you may want to invest in welding gloves.

Stick around..this board has a lot of good info. As long as you make sure his heating, UV lighting, diet, housing, and vet care needs are met, the best you can hope for is that you only have to put up with his moods during a short breeding season each year (ha ha yeah right...well maybe you'll luck out).
