In addition to the previous good advice, her high level of activity suggests that she is seeking a place to brumate for the winter. If you have a quiet spot that you can be sure will stay in the low 50s - low 60s for two or three months, put her in a smallish box with a stable water bowl and a hide and stash it in the dark. Check in every few weeks to make sure she has water. After 90 days or so, take her out and let her re-acclimatize to her cage for a few days. Then she'll probably be ravenous again.

BUT, resist the temptation to over-feed. Snakes generally require less food than we keepers think and will probably do better. Also, they can go a long time without. I just had an adult Honduran Milksnake come off a 175 day fast. He had lost a lot of weight but was still fit and healthy.

Hope that helps.
