So, do you have a cool side and hot side 24/7? They need a warm and cool side. They have to thermoregulate. Yes, most of it is for better digestion, but that isn't the only reason.

They do not hold body heat like we do. They have to be able to move to the warm side whenever they are cold, and move to the cold side whenever they get too warm. It sounds like her rubbing her nose is a slight Respiratory Infection, which can be caused by unstable temps, and it will kill your snake if untreated. I would keep an eye on him/her, and keep the heat lamp on until you get your UTH ready. If it is zapping humidity, then aim it at the side of your aquarium, not directly over the top. Hope everything works out.
I think at night its all equal since the heatpad isnt on usually (sometimes i warm it up at night before i go to bed)

They dont hold body heat because they're cold blooded

I dont think she was rubbing on purpose i think its just when i was holding her she was like sticking to my skin... cause when shes on my hand and stuff she always has trouble moving around, but not when shes on my bed.
