well my first thought would be to say not to worry if all looks lined up right. Now another possiblity could be a resp infection. Reason i say this is that if it does have this and im not saying it does but it could be that you may see the mouth opening and hereing a click due to the handling causing it to breath heavier ? now as i said im not saying it has a resp infection becasue im not aware of the husbandry hes in .. just my .02

hes in a 29 gal, hes got hides on warm and cool sides and one in the middle. his basking spot is 88-94 (depending on day), cool side is about 79-80, he is fed weekly on hopper/small adult mice, handled daily, never bit anyone, cb, he has sticks to climb on, he ussauly sits in the cave on his warm side, um, background on 3 sides, can't see any bigger snakes, i don't know what else you need to know. let me know.

How high is your humidity. You should shoot for around 60%. Too low and too high humidity has been known to cause RI.
