I saw a video were a guy filled an empty room with all sorts of climbing toys for his snakes. His snakes loved it. It was like a theme park. I commented and told him if he lived closer to me, I would pay park admission for my snake and lizards to play in his snake park.
Im a horribly paranoid pet parent:-) so I got a large kids playpen and I put random things in it for the noodle boy to explore. He seems to channel his inner green tree python (he is a Ball...) he loves to climb. It also fits on my apartment balcony so on nice not too blazing hot days we sit outside...
I do the same! Our house is really cluttered, so I would be afraid I'd lose them. I got a playpen and it works great, and I switch out some of the items in it, and leave in some favorites :) Both my ball pythons like climbing! I usually have it in the living room and put them in during the evening while we watch tv. I'm thinking about setting up a larger outdoor playpen area on the carport, but haven't gotten to it yet. I just feel like the ball pythons aren't much for being out during the day. I also sometimes take my snake with me on my neck when I go for a walk.
Love to let my baby roam free around the place. She's a Brazilian rainbow boa and will eventually find a small, dark place to hide, and when that happens I usually end up putting the item in the tank with her until she comes out of it. This is how many shoes end up in her tank overnight.
Great video! I've been taking my emerald tree boas and green tree pythons outside to crawl and climb for a few years and it is one of the most enjoyable aspects of keeping them. As long as the weather is warm enough I will often "rain" on them with the garden hose or a pump sprayer after they've been crawling around in the sun for awhile. In addition to the psychological stimulation this provides, it also helps keep them from becoming constipated due to lack of movement, which is a common problem for captive green tree pythons in particular. 9/10 times the rain stimulation triggers a bowel movement within a minute or two of raining on them. The ability for them to get in some proper vertical climbing is also much easier to accomplish outside, it is difficult to provide in a useful manner in most indoor enclosures. One thing to note about taking them outside though, you always want to keep a watchful eye out for hawks, owls, or any other potential predators. Outdoor sessions are also a great time to take pictures and video, they always look great in the sun. ua-cam.com/video/gO6CjHFRxLw/v-deo.html
I know not all reptiles like people but the ones that do like meeting new reptile friendly people. They look and smell different. My friend brought over a bunch of year old Boas. Just about every kid on my street wanted to pet or hold them. The snakes had just as much fun as the kids did. My young Boa is shy if she don't know you but these older ones just kept going from person to person. I made friends with his 7 yr old Boa. I must have been petting her just right, she didn't even want to go back to her dad when it was time to leave.
Great video! I have a question though. What if it's too cold outside? Would it still be okay to be outside for a few minutes or should you wait until summer? And should i be worried about my animal who has always lived in a sterile environment suddenly being exposed to the outside?
Also…. Any of you folks who refuse to accept that reptiles can be enriched… go read Gordon Burghardt’s 2013 meta analysis on herp enrichment… There’s no question!
Great take your snake outside so it can slither around. BAD ADVICE to East Coasters. This is a great way for your snake to pickup mites and bring them into your collection. Fuuuun. This chick must live out west where this isnt an issue

That is hilarious
Excellent! This was a great video, I can’t believe you managed to get all that fantastic information into 5 minutes! Well done.
Thanks Lori! Appreciate your support 🙏🏻
Great video! Lot's of good pointers.
Thanks Robert!

Thank you!
Another good video with useful info. Good job.
Thanks Nathan!
I love it!! Great stuff summer, thanks!
Thanks Lucas!
Love your vids. Great job educating herp enthusiasts with tips and tricks
Thanks so much!!
This was really well done! Great tips!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks!
Great ideas ! it’s easy to forget they need stimulation but need us to help provide it!!
Exactly! And these things aren’t hard or time consuming to do but they can make a big difference to their lives
Well said! I always tell people these animals only know what we allow them to experience. So healthy to get their brains working!
great video! got a lot out of it!
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great ideas ❤
Great video. I love taking my snakes outside!
Me too! Plus it gets me some vitamin D 😂 and they look so beautiful in natural light

Hah! I love that.
Giles is a ham!!
great ideas!.
Great video, it's always good to add enrichment to your animals' lives, most people don't consider these things.
Thanks Blake! Totally agree. And it makes keeping them so much more fun.
Great video! Also, you can mix and match those top five easily and add that much more variety to your animals life. Very informative, thank you!
Yes, exactly! Thanks for watching Natalie
You've definitely given me some more ideas for my snakes, great video :) Also when will you do a tour of your collection?
Thanks Hayley! I can do that!
@@GirlWithScalesOfficial can't wait!
omg...Im going to put crystals in my skink's enclosure, thatd be so fun

Yes, that's another great benefit!
Great, your philosophy is ideal

Sounds?
Is there any parasites or bacteria’s/anything harmful they can come in contact with letting them roam outside
It depends where you live.
When I took my snake outside last year she pooped on me ( which was so gross like so so gross) so I haven’t taken her outside since haha
