Is it legal to walk around outside with your snake?

[Skiploder]

No, not right. I am not talking about the personal choices people make with their pets. I talking about what seems to be the good number of people on here who are straight up rude, sarcastic, and demeaning to each other.
There is no reason to be mean when you can voice the exact same opinion in a kind way that communicates to the same depth the first method did. Especially to someone like the OP who had a honest question about the legal (not societal) ramifications of taking a snake outside.
Sonny even tried to call a truce and DVirginianna ignored it.
And then (Sonny to DVirginianna), "Sorry to say this, but you think an experienced keeper would be aware of these things." DVirginianna was asking your opinion out of curiosity, Sonny. They honestly wanted to know. And you felt the need to call them inadequate at what they do.
You, Skiploder, attacked my comment for no reason, and with the shoes statement, implied I'm some sort of materialistic air-head (thank you for that, it's really hard to find a girl who likes both snakes and shoes these days).
Albert Clark wrote "Right, the person who said they take their snake anywhere a dog is allowed obviously doesn't know the difference between a domestic pet versus a exotic pet." Albert...they know the difference. No need to put them down for voicing their opinion.
Diagga went at someone and called them selfish. No, they are not selfish. They are proud of their beautiful snake. Who wouldn't be?
None of these things actually addressed the OP's comment.
Please, be a little more kind.

All of the discussion addressed the OP's comment. It's a monumentally BAD idea to take a shy, retiring, easily stressed, nocturnal snake and sashay it around in public. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding about the natural history and needs of the snake. It has no benefit to the animal.

It is a bad idea because it defies the fundamental principle that as a keeper of an exotic pet, you should do everything in your power to provide a stress free healthy environment for your charge.

If someone holds the opinion that this is a "good" idea or a practice that should be performed, than they are MISINFORMED, and their opinion is devalued on this subject. In fact, I would hesitate to even hold this notion in high enough regard to call it an "opinion". An opinion should be based - to some degree - on fact.

Daigga's comment was spot on. If a person is so proud of something that they cease to consider it's well being in favor of showing it off, then they stride across the definition of "pride" and into "selfish". That person is doing something in the name of vanity that causes immeasurable stress to the animal. Inexcusable.

I watch people do a lot of stupid things. Many of these things are not intentional. Many of these things people new to the hobby would not intuitively understand.

This is not one of those things.

Please, be a little more kind to your snake. Your pride is no excuse to stress these animals. No one elected any of you to be an ambassador for this hobby.
