I very much agree. The OP didn't make it very clear with more details of how often, and how long the snake is doing the rubbing. Only after feeding was mentioned in the post. As we both know it can be a couple different things happening simultaneously, and it searching for more food is very likely as it is working it's jaws back into alignment, or getting a little sliver of substrate out of the corner of it's mouth as it pushes the first meal down as it crawls and rubs looking for more.
As both of us know, if the snake was doing this constantly when not in a worked-up "feeding-mode" from just feeding, it would indicate something not right with the snake's environment/husbandry, and it is seeking other more optimum conditions.
