    does sunlight bother BPs?

    i take mine outside sometimes but i always stay in the shade(on my porch or under a tree)because im always worried that the sunlight will be to bright and stress them or even damage their eyesight..but i do like the way the sun makes their skin look

    As long as they are not constantly subjected to harsh light, a little sun is fine for bp's.

    Sunlight is good. Gives them essential vitamins, just make sure to watch them so they don't wander off.

    I put mine under the trees, not too hot and not too cool.

    I take mine out for maybe 15 minutes at a time, as long as outdoor temps stay ideal.
