I think getting a few pictures of your set up will help us a lot.
Although some will not agree with the way you may have things set up or how you want to deal with your female and her clutch, if we had pictures it would help us to better understand the layout of your set up so that better information can be given.
Simple steps in changing the set up with little disturbance to the female can make a world of difference to her having a viable clutch in the end.
But I will agree you need to get the male out so there is less stress for both snakes and less chance of the eggs getting damaged.
*** without knowing the set up my 2 cents would be***
get some newspaper and tent it over her, then misting her cage a couple times a day (the newspaper will help to stop the eggs from getting wet) and maybe adding a second water bowl with a bubble stone (like used for fish tanks) to help bump the humidity up.
lastly read, read, read, everything you can find about breeding snakes and how to deal with the eggs and the babies once they hatch.
ASK lots of questions on things you may not understand about what is happening now and as things go along.
Best of luck to you with this little surprised gift she has given you.
