So I was handling my ball python for the first time today since he's been with me. I got him Tuesday (July 19), he fed Friday (July 22) and it's been 48 hours since he ate. While I was holding him in my hand, he was wrapped around my wrist and was doing this weird rubbing? I'm not sure if he was trying to constrict me or, as I read a couple of articles, wiping mucus from his nose which is a sign of a RI. He looked fine to me, no signs of wheezing or heavy breathing. No mucus on his nose either. I haven't seen any mites on him, neither have I seen him soak. And I'm usually up late nights and can view him when he's the most active. I've noticed none of this behavior from him.

But he just did this for the first time. I'm getting concerned because perhaps I did too much research. Do any of your bps do this?
I have a short clip from snapchat.


I did handle him twice more earlier today for only about 5 minutes each time. He never did this. Should I be concerned? He's my firs pet snake and I really don't want anything to happen to him.
