    Would you?

    Hey Everybody!

    Right now it is currently 82F outside with full sun and the humidity is 53% humidity. I want to take Olive outside for fresh air ( just holding her, I don't want to put her on the ground) and sunshine.

    I have a patio with a table and table umbrella and was wondering if you guys think it is warm enough to take her out to sit with me on the chairs?

    If not, what temperature do you usually take your BP outside?

    I think it's perfect...do it! If she gets real restless, she may have "had enough". I typically take my snakes out for sun for about 10-15 minutes.
    Direct sun on a dark colored snake gets them hotter than air temp.- keep that in mind, same with black dogs & wearing dark clothing.
    I usually alternate between sun & shade (coming thru trees), depending on the temperatures.

    I took my boy out for 5 minutes today! His first ever outdoor experience



    No pesticides in the grass and I kept a close eye on him! He seemed to be really curious about the grass and flowers!

    Awe, that's so cute.

    She LOVED it! I just brought her in and she was out for about 12 minutes.

    It's a "feast" for their senses.

    Lol agreed, I've taken all 4 of my babies outdoors this season for the first time, and they all seemed to have loved it. Tongue flicking, exploring. Especially my boa

    As long as it's not cooler than 75 and as long as it's not hotter than 90 I'll take mine out for as ling as 15 minutes or so. 82 and clear is perfect weather for an outdoor photo shoot.
    Just stay close by!

    I take my ball python Eggs out to the yard once in a while. He sticks close by at first but then he gets curious and toodles around the yard for a bit. I temp gun the pavement tho before I let him slither on it. Also he weirdly not head shy so I couldn't resist giving him a flower hat last time we were out.
