hello. im wondering what the deal is with snakes being outside.
i want to put 2 snakes outside but do not want them to freeze. do you put a heat source in or what?

any info about keeping snakes outside would be greatly appreciated.

If they occur naturally in your area, you may be ok , but otherwise yes , you will have to provide heat.
 
Setting them up outside requires a lot of care (or luck). You need to put the aviary in a position which allows them to warm up (north-facing aspects are ideal) but also allows them a cool retreat (underground retreats are good for most lizards and some snakes, but you must ensure they won't flood). If you know what you're doing iIt's definitely possible to keep reptiles well outside of their natural range without any problems, but if you don't know what you're doing you'll probably cook or freeze them even within their natural range. Some things (such as, say, Lace Monitors or many skinks) are far tougher than other things (such as tropical pythons).
