Is it legal to walk around outside with your snake?

I pretty much agree with that actually. The only real exception I would see is if someone were doing an actual formal educational program. We occasionally had those at my elementary school when I was growing up and I can honestly say they did a lot to influence my thinking on reptiles. But, yeah that's kind of a different ballpark than taking a snake to the store with you.

With diurnal species that benefit from sunlight, I would suggest people build outdoor enclosures if they are so darned concerned about the lack of UV or space. I live in northern California and have built outdoor pens for various animals to enjoy SUPERVISED outdoor time. Only animals that do not show signs of stress are taken into the pens.

However, in ball pythons, this is of no moment.
