Use a nice large opaque platic container that is big enough for her plus a couple of inches on all sides including above her. Make sure there is also enough room for 10-12 inches of organic fertilizer free potting soil, sand, or both. Make sure whatever you use is moist enough that it can hold a tunnel without collapsing on her. If she does start to dig make sure she doesn't see you watching her or she may abandon the hole (which could lead to egg binding and big vet bills if she doesn't start to dig a new hole.) She may also dig several 'test' holes before deciding to finally lay. Some people put a towel around a few sides of the cage so that the female has more privacy.
Once she is finished and back up in her branches you may remove the bin and discard of the infertile eggs. Make sure to give her lots and lots of water and extra food for a few days after. After a few days are up you may begin to cut back food again so that she will stop laying eggs or at least produce a smaller amount next time. Put the bin back and make sure she always has it just in case.
