Is It Good To Take Your BP Out For A Walk ?

[xXCleoPatraXx]

i was wondering if i should let her get some air :p

I don't think I would suggest a walk simply because of some negative attn this may bring from non fans of snakes but I do take mine out in the privacy of my backyard on really warm sunny days.

I take mine outside for fresh air and sunshine! Not in public though, people would freak out!

I try to take mine outside about once a week. They really seem to enjoy the sun and smells. Boy do those tongues get going. Lol. Of course, I try to keep them out of view of people. So I take them into this grassy area with lots of trees and sit down with them. As long as you aren't really drawing attention to yourself, your snakeys would probably enjoy it if it's warm out. I live in Florida, so they love it.

No, they do not need to be taken for a walk. The only reason I could see someone doing that would be to get attention. It probably would be unnecessary stress for your snakes.

I have taken Perry for walks where I live. Mind you I am WAY out in the country and my closest neighbor is a quarter a mile away and there are no sidewalks. The only people I see are passing cars and cyclists who never speak or notice me. Perry seems to like being outside around my neck or wrist. But if you live in a populated area then I would say no, that's just me though.

I think I would be worried about mites or other parasites. Have any of you that do take your BP's outside ever experiences such?

I'm sure the chances are higher for ticks and parasites and such rather than mites. I think the issues people have are mainly the unneeded negative attention to the community and the stress of a nocturnal creature being taken out during the day and stimulated more than normal. The only time I take any of mine outside is for short periods of time to take pictures in the sun.

I usually save the walks in public for my burm. If people don't like it, I dare them to say something! It's a sure way to keep those people walking their nasty, drooling, flea ridden, mange infested, stinky dogs away from me!

But seriously, I take all of my animals outside from time to time (except the fish of course). I see no harm in it and the animals seem to enjoy it. The tortoises and beardies seem to appreciate it the most!
