Do you take your snakes out often?

Hi,

There is something I realized recently while posting in other (german) forums. If you tell the people there that you take your snake out of it's tank for feeding or to take pictures, they literally freak out and tell you off for it, saying it's a no-go to handle snakes when it's not necessary...
On the other hand, I have a couple of friends who live in the US and they're perfectly fine with me handling my snakes from time to time and do so themselves. Why's that?
Like, I get it: The snake needs a certain temperature and humidity to feel comfortable, but it's not like I take them out of the tank for hours on end. Actually I only take my corn outside only when I am feeding him, because he has started to attack my hand as soon as I open the tank and it has gotten better since I feed him in a box outside. Since he's still bitey at most times, I don't take him out too often because I don't want him to be stressed.
Auri, though, is really calm when I take her outside and on nice days with the sun out I like to sit in the garden for a bit and she seems to enjoy it (it's kinda hard to tell if snakes enjoy something sometimes...)

I get told often that snakes are 'wild animals' okay... Yeah. Sure. But I still like to handle them from time to time and even if it's just to check if they're alright after a shed or something like that.
Do you think that's wrong?
