Can you diagnose my BP

[HighVoltageRoyals]

Thanks for your responses. Answers to your questions are the following:
1. about a week and a half (i thought it had stopped)
2. i have had him since his birth (he has always been in great health and physically looks healthy right now)
3. Temp with lamp is about 80, temp at night is about 72
4. Temps controlled by timer switch (he has lived completely fine on this system throughout his life)
5. Temps are measured with gauge.
6. He only does that flipping out motion when I go to touch him or try to pick him up. When left alone he calms down but still moves actively around the cage. Seems like he cant just go hide and relax.
7. Have not been weighing him regularly, from how he looks/feels it doesn't seem like that.
8. He normally eats one medium rat a month.
9. I have not had any contact with any other animals. It doesn't look like he has mites ( i have checked all of the areas for that and see nothing)

- I assume that I can take him to a vet, but I do not know where to go or do i have the money to shell out. I love him but cannot accumulate $500+ in vet bills. :/ I live in Orange County

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help.

Here's a list of vets in CA (you have to sift through the list a bit and find something close to you) that see reptiles:

Also, I would probably give All Creatures Care Cottage a call and see if they can see him. They're my standard vet but I haven't needed to take my snakes to the vet (knock wood) but I remember talking to them about if they see snakes and if I recall correctly, they do. I use these guys for everything else that I have had (bunnies, rats, dogs, cats, etc) and it wouldn't hurt to call and ask if you're close enough to them. They're pretty awesome and come highly recommended by me.
