The head bobbing thing is not a sensory thing... its actually something that many colubrids do, especially ones that are often found in tall grasses or in plants, shrups and trees.

They bob their heads back and forth in that manner the same way that many mantids do when they walk, they do it in an effort to mimic the grasses and branches in nature swaying in the breeze. They will do it, both mantids and snakes, regardless of whether there is a breeze or not, especially, as Kyle said, when you put them somewhere new that they are unfamiliar with, it's a security thing I guess!
