    Is it okay to take your snake outside

    Once the weather gets nice again (spring/summer) is it okay to take your snake outside on the deck for a short while?? Or maybe a visit to a family members house - a short 10 min. drive or so?? Just curious.

    Sure - there's lots of pictures posted of snakes nosing around in the grass. They like it outside

    I don't see why not. I've taken my kids out from time-to-time when it gets warmer outside. I usually have to watch the younger kids, but Ophi(my oldest female) is very calm and relaxed and very thoughtful in the grass. -Smiles.-

    Re: Is it okay to take your snake outside

    I'd say as long as it is warm enough out.

    In the summer I brought Stan over to my dad's house and let him go outside in the backyard (carefully monitored though - cause that boy can move!)

    It's fun watching them exploring, usually their tongues are going a hundred miles and hour. Just don't take your eyes off of them for a minute.

    Just put up a snake door so they can go out on their own. And get them a little collar with the sensor that opens the snake door so they dont bring in an undesirables.

    Well, unless they're like our snakes, which usually stay indoors. ^_^

    But yes.
