Opinions on taking a boa outside...

I was in the St. Patrick's Day parade and saw a man walking around with a large boa. Just wondering your opinions on a few things. What temp. range would you take a boa outside for an extended period of time? Would it matter if he was in direct sunlight or would you keep him in the shade? Would it matter if it was a windy day?
Also, I take pictures of my boas outside when its warm. What are the risks of doing this? I have seen pictures with their boa in the grass. Do you have to be concerned about bringing mites or something else that is not wanted back into your collection? Has anyone also noticed their sweet little boa turning into a hissing devil once its outside? Any info or opinions would be great. Thanks.
