daytime

is it ok to have your ball python out during the day?

sure!

I'm sure it is. You can't be expected to only hold them or take them out at night when they're awake. I myself only take Pelota out when she's visibly awake. Such as when she has her head poking out of her hide. This is usually around 8pm. But I've had her out around 3 in the afternoon before. She seemed a bit cranky after being woke up, but she was fine soon after I got her out.
