Head rolling?

I have Hogg island boa, who started doing this head roll thing when I remove her from her cage. I have only had her for a few months and I have never noticed her doing it until today. She seems to have control of herself when she climbs and moves about; except when she has her head dangling off a branch or my hand. When she decides to go back up her body she flips her neck over to the piont that I see the underside and then she straightens it and goes up. My only thought is that she might of got too hot, I had the thermostate on my heat tape short out so it was going unrestricted. Would that cause like a heat stroke of sorts?
