Very nice BP. I love seeing pictures of snakes outside. I'm aware of some of the drawbacks like predatory birds, parasites, pesticides, mites and ticks but I still plan on taking mine out this summer. I figure a little fresh air and sunshine can't be a bad thing for any of Nature's creations. These animals have survived for millions of years and aren't as fragile as we might sometimes think. They shouldn't be trapped in wooden, glass, or plastic cages all their lives.
The minute I walk outside holding a snake they really perk up...all the scents! Like Disneyland for their senses. I agree, they deserve a break from their
routine cage lives.
