does anyone?

If something like sitting the snake in the grass for a minute is stressful because the snake is moving around rather than balled up, how do people justify handling?
I'm not trying to argue, just genuinely curious as to why handling inside is generally seen as fine to do (so long as you don't do it in excess) but handling outside would be bad and stressful? My BP acts the same when I hold her as many people just described their snakes acting in the grass-- moving about more, not curled up and hiding, ect. I know people could make the argument that handling indoors is necessary to check on the snake's health, but I imagine the majority of people don't handle their BPs solely for the purposes of checking their health.
Again I'm not arguing for or against taking them outside, just asking what the difference would be in terms of stress to the snake?

Are we drawing a comparison between briefly handling a ball python for basic husbandry purposes and placing it on the lawn to roam around? Apples to oranges. Or are we talking about the people that take their balls for trips down to the local park or pet store? Closer to apples to apples....there is necessary handling and there is gratuitous handling...

Curling up and hiding is not the only sign of discomfort in a ball python. Moving about during daylight hours is also a sign of discomfort.

I handle most of my snakes as little as possible. There are some species that are fairly amenable to it. As a whole, ball pythons are not.
