i have heard of people grabbing a different container placing a single hide in it and a live hopper in your case, place the snake in the hide let it crawl from your hands to the hide then wait. if your lucky she will smell it, and poise her head at the hide entrance, this means she is trying to locate it. and if your luckier she will see it since its the only loan heat source and nail it after an hour or so. maybe sooner.
