First Off you need to chill the negative attitude towards your animals,that will greatly improve your perspective on the situation.

Every snake is different,each has its own way of doing things with-in the set limitations of its species.

Sounds as if she is beginning her "heat cycle" and is looking for a mate.This is her first time experiencing this NO?(over all behavior)
Assuming your husbandry is with-in tolerable limits,just allow the animal to do as it see's fit.Some snakes will do this every year,others seem to only act in this manner their first year of "maturity"think of it as PMS,LOL and let hell week run its coarse.If the animal doesn't respond to the addition of a mate or stop with-in a few days,put the animal in the dark,cover the cage or whatever means to block out any and all light for 48 hrs.
This will usually calm the animal.Its not an absolute cure,but I know it works because I have done it and seen the results.

As for your photo posting skills .......
Use photobucket.com to host your pictures for forum postings.
Its pretty simple,if you can post to myspace you can use Photobucket.

Shoot me an email if you would like more assistance.
