I have heard of photographers photographing live insects on flowers by gluing them on "to get the shot" Some people really don't give a damn in this world.
Are you photographing in it's enclosure, or a paper background type shot? If your going for a product type shot, then get him/her out at a time when he/she normally sleeps as it won't be as active. He might not be too happy about being dragged out of bed for a photoshoot (i wouldn't) but as long as it's not too often it shouldn't bother too much
The photo is planned to have the KSB sticking her head out of the sand and just the head is in the photo. I'll try the dragging out of bed trick (it might work).
