Have a suitably sized box / food mixing bowl ready and place it over the top of your snake ... you can put the bowl / box down and carefully feed the snake underneath .You or someone may have to hold the cover down ...

Leave it be for 5 minutes maybe less but don't take your eyes off the snake / bowl .

Have your camera all set up - ideally on a tripod ..

Take the cover off and the snake will usually be curled up nicely ( especially if you use a bowl ) . They generally stay still for a minute or so for some peculiar reason ...

Thanks, Zincubus. That will definitely work for taking some photos of her laying down. The problem will be getting her to sit still long enough to take some photos of me holding her to have for good size comparisons in the future. She's definitely a little scaredy cat! lol Do Retics that are this flighty usually settle down eventually with a lot of handling?
