I have a couple questions, just some basic concerns for a new guardian thanks so much for any answers!

Question 1: taking your bp outside.
Ive seen lots of pics of people taking their snakes outside, but i wonder if its safe? Cant they catch diseases?

Question 2: Can fluctuating temps make my bp sick?
I have a UTH that stays on 24/7, but because our house is cold and i have a tank, i have to use a heat lamp to get 80-85. There are times during the day where i wont get home till the evening and so i will turn the lamp on for a few hours and then turn it off. Is that temp fluctuation dangerous? Should i just leave the lamp off?

Question 3: Do bps normally hide for the first couple days after feeding?
My girl is usually very active at night, but after feeding she hides for a night or so on her warm spot. I imagine its normal but im just checking

Question 4: How can i keep humidity and temp up in a tank?
It seems near impossible with the screen top... I had kept her in a tub but because of my friends fear of snakes, she insisted i get something with a "lock" so she couldnt get out. I can keep her temp around 80-82 with the lamp on. Shouldnt it be higher?

Question 5 (last one!): How do i know when my girl has outgrown her tank?
Shes already about 3-4 inches shorter than the length of her tank, so shes getting there. Id hate for her to get cramped!
