Is there a time of year or number of times in a year I should expect this? And from your description, I basically just need a large humidity box for her when it happens?
I'm not sure about African House snakes...as far as their seasonal time-table. For my snakes (in this case, Florida natives) it's late fall- early summer when they bulk up,
then stop eating for a while & just lay low. As lay time gets closer (early June for first clutches) that's when I provide a nest box with damp moss, & they're happy to go
in it & dig around some. Actually, my rat snake ladies are power eaters all winter, they are not brumated as I have no intention of ending up with 80 hatchlings between
the two of them.

I may be wrong (actually I HOPE I'm wrong?) but I thought I read somewhere that African House snakes can actually lay multiple clutches each year. In fact, read this:

A.H.S. are very prolific so it wouldn't surprise me if they lay infertile eggs for no reason at all. You might have to consider making omelettes?
