How do you keep your snake safe outside while they are absorbing UV?

I’ve heard it’s a good idea to take your reptile outside for at least 20 mins a week so they can absorb natural sunlight.
However I’m wondering how people keep their reptile safe while they’re outside. Do you just hold them? I’m worried about losing her if I put her down on the ground. I’m thinking of making some sort of box out of wood and mesh maybe? Does anyone have any better ideas.

I made a box cage years ago for my dragons but for snakes you just sit and watch them

Yeah. That's pretty much it. With Snakes. However long you want to sit outside with and actually watch them is what I have always done.

Lizards need to be secured as they could quite easily do the bolt and it would pretty much be impossible to find them or get them back.
