" Do they always stop eating prior to laying, and do they always shed before they lay? Do the laying containers need to be opaque? "

They may stop eating before egg laying, which is normal, and yes, they also may shed as well. The containers do not necessary NEED to be opaque, but a trick that some friends of mine use, is that they make half of the cage the actual laying area, by spreading vermiculite or Sphagnum moss all over the cage, and then, the snake will just use that whole area to lay.

But also, I myself have used boxes, some opaque, some clear, filled with moist Sphagnum moss, having the opening to get into the box as open as possible ( meaning no lid ), and that worked fine too.

There are many ways to go about it, and there is never a bad question. Good luck my friend!
