Hey Critta,
I had a spotted do that when he was younger and it's all to do with food. He went to the vets for tests etc and he was given a clean bill of health EXCEPT he needed more food. His matabolism was a lot faster than my other girl so we were advised to bring his feeding time back to every 5days and if possible give him something with fur on it ie fuzzy mouse. It worked a treat and after a while we got to know when he was getting hungry and avoided handling him then until he was fed. It's a bit distressing but it's ok you're spotted is just a normal snakie!!!
I hope this helps but for your enjoyment here is a photo of him at around 5mths trying to eat me

Cheers,
Mell
