Should I let my snake crawl around outside?

[Neal]

I have a Ball Python that I have had for about 6 - 7 months he is about 2 1/2 feet long. I have searched this before and i got both answers yes and no and good reasons for both. So can I let my Ball Python crawl around outside. If so are there times i shouldn't le him outside such as when he is shedding or just after shedding and anything like that?

I wouldn't. You let them crawl around and say they find a hole in the ground that you missed. BAM, there goes your snake. Then not to mention bugs/mites and who knows whatever else. If anything I do put them on the driveway sometimes to take pictures.
