Can Someone Please Help Me? Her behavior is bizarre and hyperactive

I can understand being active but my snake is extremely hyperactive. She tends to jump from time to time from a few inches. She also jolts and twitches. I'm hoping she's ok . Can anyone tell me if this is a normal behavior? Or if she's just going through a phase?

She looks like she's about to shed soon but she hasn't gone through the blue period yet so she's not exactly close to shedding. It's starting to get pale. Also, feeding wasn't helpful either. I put the mouse in front of her mouth and refused to take it.
 
Is there any chance she could be gravid? Has she ever been with a male, before or after you got her? I ask because this is how my snakes act just before they lay their eggs. I have only had two snakes lay eggs, so I am no expert, but that is the first thing that came to mind.
 
She hasn't been in contact with a male at all. Right now, she's settled and I'm relieved but I'm still curious as to why she acted like that. I'm hoping it didn't give her a heart attack. All I did was handle her and put her back. Then she went crazy! Did anyone else have a situation like this before?
 
Okay, silly question but are you SURE she is a she? :) What you saw may be male mating behaviour, although I am not sure if they would do this without a female present...

It honestly sounds as if "she" is just full of the joys of spring and looking for a mate...

Males go off food around this time too...
