Approximately one year old corn snake twitching/jerking

So recently I've noticed that my corn twitches/jerks when touched but seems completely normal at all other times. It also seems to twitch less as I continue to handle him/her. It's this just "that time of the year" behavior or does this warrant a very visit? I've tried to get a video though it doesn't seem to show up well
 
The video won't play for me, but by our description it sounds like you maybe haven't washed your hands before picking him up, and he is under the impression that you are invading his territory. It also could be the time of year, but the only time I saw younger snakes do that was way way back when I first got them and was cohabbing. If you handled them at different times, they got all twitchy, presumably because the hands smelled like the other snake in "their" territory.
 
Seeing if I can play the video...

Won't work in youtube link, here's a regular link

And- I don't see anything besides the snake reacting to touch.
 
After seeing the video, I think there something with all of mine! :) Eiram, I saw nothing out of the ordinary.
