If you want to double check your husbandry, post some details or a picture of your setup. We are all more than willing to help you refine your husbandry to prevent your snake from going off feed.

As for the millet seed, get the snake off of that and onto aspen, paper towels, or newspaper. I am sure she will be okay though as long as nothing is profusely bleeding.

Generally, over activity is a sign of stress. Slow cruising at night or around feeding day is normal. But day time roaming, climbing the walls, and general "get me out of here" movements are usually an indicator of improper husbandry.
Oh, no no... *I* don't have her on millet, lord not, the PETSTORE did... I have her on aspen. I have her in a 10g tank with 2 small hides, one on the warm side and one on the cool side, I have a large glazed terra cotta water dish to soak in (it's big enough for 3 snakes her size all balled up) I have a grapevine reptile limb thing for climbing. During the day she does stay in the hides, she only explored the tank today because she was soaking some and I noticed one side of her mouth looked funny (which was the millet)... I currently have a heat lamp which will be donated to my iguana when I get a heat mat which will be very very soon.... I also only have little stick on thermometers, one reads 82 and the other reads 78, but again, I don't know how accurate they are, I'm going to walmart in the next couple days and will get one of those acurite things everyone mentions..... I only got her yesterday and have not had to feed her yet, since they fed her yesterday (they SAY) so I don't know if she'll eat for me or if she's even that against f/t, I don't know, but I wanted to get some info before I freak out on feeding day and she doesn't eat or something... just trying to be prepared.
