There are all types of personalitys within snakes, some tolerate handling much more than others and it is our responsibility to ensure we dont over handle those that either dont tolerate it or are too fragile (GTP's for example)

I totally agree and if you don't like the word tame, how about using 'accustomed'? That would imply that the snake is accustomed to humans but still not domesticated.
