Why does there need to be a distinction between the two?
Snakes kept in racks with clean tubs and on-point husbandry doesn't indicate any less appreciation for these animals any more than having a full display setup with all the bells and whistles indicates more appreciation.
To use your analogy, I'm sure many card collectors would love to display every single one of their prized cards individually for the world to see. However, due to space constraints, many of them are stored on a shelf in 3-ring binders and taken out to show off whenever the moment arises. It certainly doesn't mean that the cards hold any less value to their collector.
