I bring mine out for a "walk" every now and then. Get them some natural sun is my main reason for doing it. I also make sure to do it in an area with no quick escape routes.

I was wondering though if the possibility to get mites outside in a short time is an issue? Ticks are easy enough to spot and more out in the woods in my area.

I guess I can kinda answer this because none of my WC snakes have mites.. but yea figured I would toss it out there.
