I subscribe to the opposite line of thinking. I await your apology for making a public statement about me that isn't true.

My carpet python does this to me sometimes, and I want to know why. I have observed 3 different "types" of "rubbing" (for lack of better terms.)
1. My snakes will all rub their heads on things, including me if I am handling them, while they are in shed process. It seems like they are "testing" their shed.
2. Some of my snakes will rub frozen thawed rats before eating them. I assume this is to feel which way the rodent's hair is lying to find the head.
3. The kind of rubbing you described. It is different from the above two, and I do not notice my snakes doing this on anything else besides me. At first I was freaked out that she was going to start eating my hand, but it is a unique action. As a side note, my Savannah Monitor does this to me alot, and my bearded dragon used to do this as well.

I reserve judgement until I am shown video of the original post and some of these things being described.
