If your beautiful female is gravid, you biggest challenge will be the neonates. I've over the course of 30 years maintained adult Ea. Corals from time to time with success using tube feedings, snakes, glass lizards (seem to be a fav) and Eumeces ssp skinks. I spent 3 yrs trying to entice them over to pinks using senting, stuffing reptiles with pinks etc..all with little success to the conversion. Damp,(not wet) moss for a substrate seems to offer cover and keeps the stress to a minimum. Water should be offered clean at all times as they tend to dehydrate very quickly. Over this period I only once had the opportunity to collect a gravid female and successfully hatched out a 6 clutch 100%. Again, stress is important when dealing with Micrurus. My best results came from field collecting gravid or finding eggs from small Eumeces ssp, (five-lined skinks) and hatching them, ( preps are just like hatching the easier colubrids). The juvie Corals ate them like champs. I even got them to the point of eating f/t skinks. Just a suggestion.
