Most native colubrids are super easy. Just fill her cage with 6" or higher of moist sphagnum moss (you can buy it at most plant nurseries) and let nature take its course. After she lays her eggs, you can even incubate them in the same moist sphagnum moss. I have been doing this for years with many colubrids. I also put the cage in a sunny room and incubate the eggs at room temperature. She just wants privacy; you may want to place a thin piece of plywood over the pile of sphagnum. So easy a kid can do it. In fact, as a kid I did it this way many years ago (with fox snake eggs). Still works. Have fun with it!
