Any way to prevent this ?

Is she in a rack? None of my snakes have hides.... none of them.

How big is she?

Do you have mature males and females near each other? All my males do during breeding season is try to get out of the rack. They smell the females. Sounds funny, but are you sure it is a female? This is typical male behavior at this time of year.....

^I've noticed a male doing this a bit with a female that is not up to weight next to him.
Just try telling a snake his date needs a few more dinners. If he keeps it up I will have to move one or the other.

I'm pretty sure she is a female, I bought her and the breeder said she was. I mean he could have been lying lol. But no she is not in a rack she has her own tub and my other ball is a female

If you think hides are the issue you can try some make-shift hides (like cut cardboard or containers that you aren't using - tissue boxes and margerine containers work well for me) and put a few all over the enclosure, just to see if that changes anything - even temproarily.

Unfortunately that is my only suggestion, as I don't have any experience with a BP rubbing! But best of luck :)
