 Im new to snakes

Hi My name is Threasa I have never had a snake and always wanted one, so I finally got the love of my life Romeo. He is less then a year not sure the date he was born though. Last night I was having some Romeo and me time when he started to rub his head continuously all over my hand and arm. why is that? He didn’t seem to want to harm me in any way. If anyone could answer this for me it would be great. I want to know as much as possible about my new love.

He could just be trying to look around, are you sure he isn’t shedding?

Id say, it had an itch. *chuckles* Congradulations on your first snake. Make sure the humidity and temps are right in the tank ( there are lots of care sheets here) and enjoy the joys of living with a boa!
