I have a Coastal Carpet Python and i was wondering if i can take it out the back? could he pick up parasites out on the grass?
All the advice above is excellent!
UV-A and UV-B is essential to our herps health the best source of these rays are from our friendly sun (as unfortunately UV bulbs are actually quite varying in their reliability and short in life-span). So supervised sunning of your coastal carpet is an excellent way to contribute to his/her health.
Whenever you introduce an animal to the outside world (whether they be a dog, bird or reptile) you increase the chance of parasite infestation, so just make sure you're up to date on your worming, keep an eye out for any sores (e.g. from mites) and make sure you keep the enclosure nice and hygienic. This way you and your coastal can enjoy the sun together with minimum risk and maximum benefits .
UV is not needed for pythons also highly unlikely they will pick up mites from being outside and worming is not needed unless testing reveals parasites.
That is a very beautiful python!Mine are always out shooting the breeze!
