Mine started doing this about a montha go also. I've since put the male into brumation. Here's the thing thou, the male is about 34 inches long, was wild caught, and has been through a couple or more winters. The female is a spring hachling about 16 inches long, never been through a winter (which might be why she's eating like there's no tomorrow as she has never had to experience one), but there is no way she can breed at this young age. So if she's emmiting pheromones now, could that be a sign that she's going to be ready soon. (Like spring?? God help me) The poor thing was never left alone with the horn-dawg close by. LOL
