.........yea she weighs a ton too!
What do I need to do to prepare her?
I have a plastic box in with her that has damp mulch.
Any advice on Simus with be great!

It's probably safe to say that snake is going to lay. Heres what I did with mine. I set my wildcaught female up in a 32 quart sterilite with a small undertank heater on one side which she used up untill she laid. Even though I had two nest boxes in with her she decided to lay all 13 eggs underneath her waterbowl which if I had not checked on her that day she laid all the eggs they would have dried out,that's why I mentioned to keep a close eye on her. I incubated the eggs at 75-76 degrees and got 8 females and 5 males all perfect,no kinks and everybody ate eventually. The babies like it super humid,like 70-80 percent,but proper ventilation is crucial! If she does lay I would see if she takes a few meals then release her right where you found her. I've had no luck acclimating any wilcaught adult simus longterm myself,males or females. It's the babies you want which do well if setup right. Good Luck!!! Kevin
