    Question Yep... another question about my BP.

    So when your take a snake out "to play" is it bad if your room/ house is not at there current climate. For example, say room temp is 68-70 and you took one out of his cage for 30-60 minutes, will that dramatically effect his core temp. I'm assuming handling a snake for a long time in a place that wasn't warm wouldn't be a good idea, but I want to hear some opinions from the experienced and the experts. All comments are welcome.

    i would think at the temps you mentioned, and the time frame, you would be alright. if they start getting antsy, though, i'd put 'em back!

    Also, don't forget that unless you put them down to crawl on tile or something, they're usually in your hands or on your person and people are fairly warm. That's how people who take their snakes out for shows and education demos can do it. However, once they start acting like they're trying to get away that's when you put em back.
