taking snakes outside...

[mommanessy247]

ok thanks judy. i was planning on supervising the time outside anyways even though the snake would be safe inside a homemade pen.

.... even though the snake would be safe inside a homemade pen.

I'm insanely curious about a "homemade pen" that would be safe to leave a ball python (or any other snake for that matter) in outdoors. Please elaborate!

How about a greenhouse with an automated vent and fan?

Yes, we have one, and yes some of my snakes (not balls) get to use it several times during the year.

I never take mine out to "soak up the sun" as like the others have stated they are nocturnal and really have no need to!!!

[infernalis]

Seeing as ball pythons are nocturnal, they do not need to soak up any sun.

To be honest they really do not need to "get some sun".

Agreed.

i've been asked by another member to not post anymore questions on ssnakess.com. fine by me, this forum is more geared towards ball pythons anyways, plus the breeder i will be buying my snake from is here as well.

Sorry folks, I felt compelled to jump in here. (I moderate the "other forum"). mommanessy247 was NEVER asked to "not ask questions" I even encouraged continued participation in the thread.

We all tried to be informative and helpful, however when the answers were not what mommanessy247 wanted to hear, it went downhill from there.

All the same information is appearing here, I don't want to start a war, so I am going to back off now, but it is not appreciated the things that have been said by Mommanessy247.

ok im super upset now. i was just on ssnakess.com, another forum site, & posted a question about this outdoor pen that i want to build. someone made a snyde comment about how many threads i post. i was on every day, as i am here, & here, i dont get those kind of remarks.
thanks to everyone here for your unending patience. i always ask questions, especially when i have what seem like cool ideas. i'd rather ask a question about my idea then do it & possibly hurt or kill my snake because i didnt throw the idea out there first...i dont know, im just really upset.

[WesleyTF]

ask away! As long as you don't have an agenda, I don't think people will get upset with you. I know some frequent posters annoy me, but not the ones with legitimate concerns and questions that aren't loaded.

[mommanessy247]

wesleytf- what do you mean by an agenda? also what do you mean by questions that are loaded? im fairly new here so...yeah.

He's referring to people who aren't asking questions to learn...but rather are creating posts and threads with the intent to simply argue or try to force their views on other people. Some of those may be posed as "innocent questions" but are "loaded" meaning they are intended to start an argument or otherwise try to spin the discussion to skew it toward the person's particular point of view.

You're not in any danger of doing any of that, so far as I can see!

Honestly, it's just the internet. Don't let them e-hurt your feelings.
