Separate the snakes and keep the separated. They do not need or want company.

If you're going to let her maternally incubate, her enclosure needs to be EXACT. Temperatures need to be between 90-92 on the warm side and no lower than about 85 on the cool side. Humidity needs to be in the 70-80%(not wet, HUMID). This means covering the screen lid with a sheet of plexiglass with barely any screen exposed, or covering it with foil or saran wrap to keep the heat and humidity in, and minimizing drafts. If you are using any lamps, get rid of them, as they will dry out the air and will kill the eggs. Adding some wrung out sphagnum moss(found at Lowe's or Home Depot by the name of MosserLee) helps too. DO NOT spray the snake or the eggs directly. Keep fresh water available at all times.

Make sure you are measuring all temperatures and humidity with a DIGITAL guage. Do not guess, or your female cannot be successful.

Letting her incubate the eggs also means she won't eat for another 60 days, when she is already low on reserves as it is. You cannot hold her, you can't clean out the enclosure, and you can't bother her.

If you want to artificially incubate the eggs in an incubator, there are quite a few threads on here that have instructions.
Great advice...

Good luck!!!
