Yes, I do, and in larger enclosures, multiple hides, on the warmer side and on the cooler side. I provide fairly deep substrate, usually aspen that they can burrow in and it sort of retains its shape. I like to use various plasic boxes, ones that are only a few inches thick, rubbermaide, sterilite etc. I try to buy dark ones but if not, I spray paint them (giving them plenty of time to "cure" in the desert sun before using them.) I cut a hole with a hole saw in the lid, or use a super hot metal rim to melt through, like a cookie cutter? I put some coconut coire within, and add a little moisture when shedding process starts. Works well for my snakes, and by changing the medium, it makes a reasonable egg laying chamber. I sometimes use PVC pipes for juvenile snakes. I think kings like a dark retreat, and not too big, they seem to like cramming themselves in, or under a slate or tile lying upon the coconut coire within the dark plastic box...Vic
