I'll bet the pictures would be unreal, and from what I've read, real UVs from the sun a few times a week can make their colors pop more.
I'm eager to see this one outside!
I know! We've talked about the UV before but I never got one since I put him back into the larger tub. I was already thinking about getting him out to the garage since we set it up as a gym and it's pretty much escape proof. Then outside if I think I can contain him, the sun would be great for him.
The only thing that's stopped me before is that he's so fast when he wants to be, I've worried that he'll hit the grass and bolt!

I hear that!!
If you let him in the grass, make sure you have enough area to be able to cut him off and grab him.
This fella gave me a bit of an elevated heart rate last summer. Retics are the fastest snake (boa/python) I've ever worked with I don't think I'd ever lay certain colubrid types in the grass.

See the deck in the background? If he made it under, I'd have been in a real jam.
If you can get you Bredli on a deck rail or some type of ladder or prop, you'll be less stressed.

Your guy will look great outside!

Man, I love those pics. Nice back yard, can't beat those northern trees.
I do have a big clear backyard but I've seen the occasional black racer take off and I wouldn't want to get into a foot race. I might have to put Alpha in the trampoline first, completely surrounded by netting!
I'm determined to get him outside now so we'll see how it goes. He wouldn't be the first snake mistakenly freed in South Florida but that's not how I want it to go down!

Do you have any LOW trees? That would be pretty cool.
Yes, I don't want to see you out a snake for my selfish picture request. If your dude is a runner, maybe the tramp is the best option to start.

That's funny, I've already been checking out the trees to pick the right one. Got a few good low ones and a few too high for comfort. I might find out he's a serious climber!

Awesome pics!! Thanks for sharing!!
I don't let Django, my King on the grass...anymore!!
I did once last summer and won't do it again, he took off and I almost didn't react in time. All of a sudden he just wanted to GO!! I caught him and he rattled and musked. Only time he's ever musked since I got him. But I was impressed with his speed. He's "run" across the floor inside before, but apparently never full speed til he was on grass!!

Thanks, Craig. I will keep this in mind and be mentally and physically ready for whatever I choose. Inside vs outside, big difference.

Nothing but rain in Florida this weekend... So, I'm painting the house and decided to take a break and bring out the big guy.
