    Re: Is it okay to take your snake outside

    Grass is almost the perfect back ground for any snake. Even green trees look cool in grass. Carpets look best IMO, the green really sets the black and yellow off. In short, you should be fine.

    No, snake mites are not native to the US or Europe, I think they originally come from India.

    Only if you don't keep an eye on them and let them wander near pre-dug holes (rabbit holes etc). Ball pythons themselves don't dig.
