Rubbing on me?
Our BP has been wrapping around my wife's waist and squeezes tightly she said and her motion's are as she's rubbing her face on my wife's waist. Any thoughts why she is doing this? It's only my wife's waist, she doesn't bother with me.

Looks like she feels insecure about her positioning and stability. Is your wife comfortable with snakes, or perhaps snakes of such a small size? Your babe looks to me like she's afraid she might fall.

I would agree from this picture, but she has been in my wife's hand and a few mins later she will go to my wife's waist and being to just rub while her tail and half body is still wrap around her hand......

Yeah, I think I'd just double-check your wife's handling technique, because if she's fine with you but on edge with her, she's clearly doing something that doesn't feel quite right to the snake.
Tips:
- Handling her in a seated position, with the snake in your lap
- Always having a hand underneath the snake while handling her on your wrist or arms
- time and patience

It can be, but if it's just with your wife then I'd say it's a comfort level thing. If it wasn't she'd do the same with you, and you have mentioned she's more relaxed with you.

Re: Rubbing on me?
Yea with me she doesn't move as much mostly staying on my hand to a quarter of my arm. She's more active on my wife I was figuring that it's just she's on a warmer hand/arm. But when watching her handle Alana today she does everything the same as me she will wrapped around your fingers and hand and stay put for a bit before adventuring out

I don't know if this is an issue with your wife but one of the things I've had to do is to make sure my hands are warm before I handle my snake. My hands are often cold and I've discovered that my boy really doesn't like that. So now, I make sure that I don't touch him at all unless my hands are good and warm.

My first thought was if the snake is trying to shed on her - if it was a one time thing, that could be it. But if it's every time she holds the snake... 
I would just double check to make sure there's no mites or anything itchy on your little snake too.
