Only if you offer enough possibilites to hide and to go into the shade.
In nature, pythons often would sleep under warm stones, not in the direct sunlight.

No, it is very difficult to regulate direct sunlight and your snake would be able to get away if the environment was to heat up too much. A hide or even a water bowl may not be enough to cool your snake down enough. Filtered light should be okay, but direct sunlight would probably be too much.
Ball Pythons in nature usually use old termite mounds and ground dens to live which offer a lot of protection from the direct sun. A Ball Python in a tank does not have that option.

i might say ball python. they are much less in all hazard to chew and are fairly docile. i've got had mine for slightly now and hes a sweetheart. Humidity could be an argument while you're actually not prepared to put in the attempt yet once you're then this is going to likely be high quality. Corn snakes are greater sketchy i come across.

No, it will over heat. Your ball python needs to have a cool place and a warm place in its tank. We have the heat pad on one side and nothing on the other side. That way it can regulate its own body temperature.

I think it will get a sunburn. I never kept mine (Burmese) in direct sun, but, there were times I put her in a short tree (Easy to get) to allow her to move around. There were times she would lay and sun. So, I guess it OK, just have it where the snake can move to shade when it want.

It would need to be able to get away from the heat to regulate its body temperature.

no keep in partial shad and don't leave him outside in the cage. They are not high heat tollerant and can die from it.
