Now that they've been together, they're quite likely to always be like that, which is all the more reason to keep them separate until breeding time (should you opt to let that happen again).
Allowing a snake to mate can really alter it's behaviour. I allowed my male to mate once and he's been single-minded ever since, which is one of the dozen or so reasons I don't let them breed anymore. He's no longer the happy-go-lucky guy he used to be. All he wants now is to track her down and since there are already *so* many unwanted Carpet Pythons out there trading hands ever day, he's just going to have to suck it-up and get over it 'cause I'll never let it happen again. I hope that after a couple of years of not being able to breed that he returns to his aloof self rather then being so one-track-minded.
My female got over wanting him in a very short time, but he hasn't let it go for over a year at this point.
