    Snakes outside?

    So this might be a dumb question but I would rather be safe than sorry. I want to take pictures of my BP outside (in the grass, on branches, etc.) and Ive seen others do it, but I'm just curious if there is any possibility of them getting something from being outside (mites, ticks, etc.)

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Possible, but unlikely. I wouldn't worry too much.

    Just be wary of any pesticide that might have been sprayed ... that's the only risk I see. You'll be keeping close eye on your bp otherwise, so I don't think ticks would be an issue unless you took it to the woods

    It's be one thing if you left it/them out there for an extended period of time, but if you wanna bring them out to stretch for a bit and take some pics you're good to go. And as said above, as long as there are no chem's being used on the lawn

    I've always wondered this myself. I still worry too much I'm sure. Only one of my snakes have been outside.
