The larger nest box you can offer the better in my opinion. I know from keeping and breeding other snakes that are known to eat their eggs that offering a large nest box will keep them from eating their eggs.
A larger nest box also offers more options. A female can pick where in the nest box she wants to lay. This usually makes egg laying for the female a much smoother process.
