Can you take snakes outside?

Hello,
I'm wondering if you could take your snake outside, like put it on the grass etc.? I would like to once the weather gets warmer, but I'm terrified of her getting mites/ticks/parasites. should I put a blanket on the grass to let her slither around in or just let her slither around in the grass?

thanks in advance! :)

Nope they are fine. They do jump from the tickling grass at first though so let them check it out a little at a time. Mine rub their face sideways on the ground when the grass tickles, kinda funny.

I do with mine when the weather is nice. I just stay very close though because we do have wild rabbits and other rodents that will occasionally make a hole in the yard and I don't want the snake to disappear down it looking for a meal. Also we have wild raptors and a nesting pair of owls in the area that would happily take a small snake as a meal, so I stay close enough to the snake to discourage that.

And if you use chemicals on your lawn I wouldn't take them out.

LOL, that made me laugh... :rofl:

Jurrasic Park? LOL

Actually, we have Owls and all kinds of birds of prey around here, too !! I even had to bring my chihuahuas inside when the big ones begin cruising kind of low over the yard !!

I felt pretty dumb after I googled it...in my defense, sleeping meds and way past my bedtime... and now back to the regularly scheduled programming [emoji16]
