You can see the tracks in front of the third pic, where the gila was basking at 116F

Of course it ran off, hahahahahahahaha This was in the early mourning, you can tell by the shadows and in early winter. Normally the surface and ground temps are much much hotter.

Snakes, which is the subject of this forum will not use that high of temps, once the ground or surface temps exceed 100F, they normally cease to use them and elevate their temps from below the surface. Enjoy
