out of tank time question

[Stolzieren]

I take poncho out every day and she spends anywhere from 30 mins to hours out of her tank. before I take her out she gets a good 4 hours or so of basking time. is it okay for me to keep her out of her tank for so long? she loves to just sleep on my shoulder or on my bed, and loves to explore

she actually throws fits and glass dances to get me to take her out haha

Hi. That'll be fine. Mine stay out of their cages for hours if its nice and I open up the windows and let them bask and get real uvb. Now that winter is coming they have no choice, but to stay in their cages and they really don't like it sometimes, but after a few days they get use to it.

I agree. Outside the tank time is good. Seems to make them happy and gives some stimulation. As long as they have a couple of hours after meals it's no big deal. Dundee is usually out if we're home. Some days he gets several hours out of his tank.

thanks for the replies! I was just worried maybe poncho was having TOO much outside time or something. she definitely gets a few hours in the morning when she wakes up and a few hours after a meal to bask.

Sounds good to me. Let her enjoy her freedom and have a fun life =)
