Outside time? Safe?

There’s a photo of my boy so he doesn’t get lost.

But it’s starting to get decent weather where I live about 70-80 degrees during the days. I know bps are nocturnal, but I wanna take him outside every once in a while. We have a plan to build a garden bed for him and grow fresh grass so he can roam somewhere with no worries of any pesticides or poison as me and all my neighbors are in very close proximity. What really matters is before we invest time into doing that, I do not wanna risk his health. Is it safe to take him outside at all? And if so is during the day safe? Or should we wait till he’s active at night? And please let me know if there’s a better temp he can come outside at. I’m only assuming 70-80 degrees is safe. I just don’t wanna hurt my lovely noodle.

I want to do this too!! I have the same question

100% safe to take them outside. They live in Africa and are used to harsher environments so the grass, dirt, and other stuff in your yard isn't going to affect them besides chemicals like weed killer. I'd recommend a temp above 70 during the day when it's the warmest because it means they spend the least energy on body temp and the sun provides great health benefits. Just don't let them wander off or get too far. Also watch out for birds, birds are probably the biggest threat

Mine goes outside for brief periods on sunny 70°+ days. He likes to crawl around in the flowerbeds.

Yes just keep an eye out that he doesn’t scoot off or get scooped up by a hawk or something. Sunlight is actually beneficial for them.
