RE: Strange and hyperactive snake?

I had a feeling that I might be feeding her a bit too sparingly. I feed her every 10-14 days usually, with a good sized, XXL rat. She is coming up on 8 feet, and her cage is roughly 5x3x4, and what was actually making it harder is that she will be extremely hyperactive for a day or two, nudging her nose into the edges of the sliding glass, and for other days, she just hangs out in the heat. She loves being out of her cage and being held, but I am unsure if that is just because she is a nice pet, or because she NEEDS to get out of her cage, for whatever reason. Should I start feeding her weekly? Should I step up to rabbits? I feed her the biggest rats I can find, and she has no problem. Thanks for all the help!
