My $0.02 worth is in agreement with Vic and Brad. I kept my russians outdoors here in Baton Rouge (south) Louisiana last year from April through early October, and they went back out in April this year. They tolerate the wet as long as they can get to a dry area, and its not too cold. No illness last year or this year. My russians also utilize pavers and bricks in the enclosure to climb around on as well as help stay dry. All species you listed would probably appreciate a slightly elevated hide box area to get out of the rain and not sit perpetually in moisture.
