ok, yes, that sounds dumb...but sometimes when i hold my lil ball python he rubs his snout on me. hes yet to strike at me or bite me. although hes hissed a few times. so anyways, what is he doing when he rubs his nose on me? no, he doesnt always have his tongue out when hes doing it either..

lol yall probably think im a fruitloop. well, youre right. but ssshhhhh, dont tell everyone
thanks in advance b

Hey my adult male BP does the same thing sometimes. It's a little freaky but sweet none the less. He hissed and struck at me when he was in his enclosure but never when he was out.

My 3 ft male does the same thing, but he's never struck at me... He does the whole head rub thing on my hand.

If he's in his hide and I uncover him, he's fine. It's just at night when he's out exploring, if I bother him, he has struck at me. But if i take him out, he's fine. My adult female is the exact same way. But she doesn't rub her nose. Just him.
