Of course. I will take some soon. Hard to see the snake most of the time because in my case, the snake exposes himself against the heated side of the cage, so not obviously visible like the snakes in FRs pictures.

I learned something about these animals by experimenting with the cage setup reinforced by FRs posts. These kings really do use "cool" as their base. And given just a small basking area (side of cage only for them to but up against), they have to be and are selective about which part of the body they heat. I have seen the food bolus heating about 3 or 4 times now in this little cage. And the head heating is interesting too, and I have seen that enough times to know it is purposeful.
