whenever i take mine outside (not very often) it takes them a few minutes to get used to their surroundings, but then they're content to look around for a while and see what they see. and, as qiksilver said, lots of people take their snakes outside for pics. outside pics, in my opinion, are the best because of the lighting, and the contrast with the green grass. if you take yours outside, just make sure (obviously) that there are no dogs or cats running around!
