Since I use newspaper as substrate, I experimented years ago w/nest boxes in the rubbermaids! After a couple years of mixed results, I finally decided that it was a waste of time, money and aggrevation! Now I just keep a close eye on them and harvest them very fresh!

i dont, just make sure the humidity in the cage is sufficient that if you miss them they can stay hydrated until you do find them.
i also remove the water bowl. a habit i got from when i did corn snakes. not sure if balls will lay eggs in the water bowl or not but i wont give them the chance.
