My Ball Pythons odd behavior, friendly or not?

[LEE23]

I have a ball python that is 11months old and very sweet, I try to handle her about an hour each day however some times she will coil around my arm and squeeze while rubbing her head against my arm like a cat would do against ones leg. I don't know if she is being amorous or what. It kinda freaks me out, any ideas why she does this?

She's got an itch and doesn't have arms? That's just a guess. If she's not hissing, or striking, I wouldn't be worried about it. My big girl squeezes the heck out of my arm when she's cruising around me, I've never thought she was being aggressive by it.

I wouldn't worry! One of my eyeless will do that, but then he latches on and attempts to swallow my arm, so I think for him it's just a little confusion It doesn't hurt at all so I find it pretty endearing. If yours isn't acting aggressively at all it probably isn't anything but a quirk

My little mojave boy does this. He will curl around my wrist and rub his chin on my arm or my wrist band. I think he likes how the wristband feels lol.

That's not agression at all, you have nothing to worry about! My normal used to do that when he was young - I have no idea why! He stopped doing it as he got bigger, and he's the sweetest snake ever. It's just something weird that they do, I have no explanation for why.
