I would guess if it's doing that right after you feed, it's saying, "DON'T TOUCH ME!"

I have a ball python that did that a couple times when she was in feeding mode before she stricked. I guessed it was her way of expressing her exitement or something. Her tail though was flat to the ground and she wriggled it back and forth really quick. When did your Dum. do it?
