I have a very healthy 10 year old ball python that lives in a good-sized aquarium. Would it be okay to keep him in an outdoor pen during the summer months. I live in Central Ohio where June, July, and August temperatures run from upper 70's to mostly mid-80's and occassionally into the 90's.
Wondering if my snake would enjoy a much larger space and some fresh air for a few months. I would of course make sure it is protected from predators (raccoons) and rain. I could include a heat mat and/or a heat lamp.
Do I put him at significant risk to parasites? Anybody ever try this? How'd it go? Thanks for whateveer advice you can offer.
