Hi and thank you for this question, If this is a new behavior for Jellybean than she should be examined for anything abnormal in her mouth/ respiratory system. This requires a visit to the vet. If this is something that she has been doing for a while, it could be behavioral. Snakes often do that, and sometimes injure themselves as a result (which would also require treatment). If there is a specific area that she rubs on, it may be possible to make some changes in her enclosure to discourage her from doing so,
