Whites outside?

[Nabced]

Its a sunny day and I have nothing to do since classes are over I was thinking about grabbing my misting bottle and taking my whites out to enjoy the fresh air I don't use pesticides on my lawn so I figure it should be ok is it?

I keep my white's outdoors when the weather is appropriate. I think it's fine so long as you're able to check on them and keep them hydrated.

Thanks for the idea. But where do you keep them with out splitting on ya?

[JWells]

Haha...I should clarify, I keep them in a reptarium outside. They're not like free-range chickens!

[Nabced]

They enjoy it?

[JWells]

Seems like...I got them to breed outside this summer.

How did Irene affect you?

Sounds like a sure fire way to introduce yet another potentially invasive species to Florida. I advise against keeping any non-native species outdoors, no matter the climate.

I just had this debate on another forum...To further clarify, they are kept in a reptarium which is in a screened in patio. So they are still able to benefit from the natural weather cycles, without the potential for escapees.

While I appreciate you concerns, I am well aware of the impact of invasives in Florida. I have to live with them everyday, and it is important to me to not contribute to the problem. I am an experienced, responsible keeper and environmentalist, so I take this all extremely seriously.

I live in Pa I could almost guarantee you my frogs wouldn't last a night out here
