She's in a plastic "sweater box" now, lined with newspaper. As soon as she lays an egg, each egg will be removed and put into a different Stearlite container, this one half-filled with moist Perlite. This is where the eggs will incubate. I have no idea what color her babies will be, though, since "Greenish" Ratsnakes are very variable in color and pattern. Some could wind up looking like purebred Black Rats, while others could look more like Yellows, and you never know-sometimes a real surprise, like an albino, could show up. With Ratsnakes, you really can't tell until they're over a year old, since all baby Ratsnakes hatch out basically a pale silvery color with black blotches, and change drastically as they mature.
