Most snake species do not need any UV lighting as the efficient calciums & supplements are recieved by digesting adult animals (rodents). Diamonds are the exception. Giving the snake time in the sun or supplementing with a UV light source would be beneficial but not neccessary.

As for handling while giving them time outside it is 100% dependant of the owner, you may want to handle them outside & allow them to defecate on the lawn or you may want to set up an outside aviary for them to spend time in during the day while you go off to do other things. Totally up to yourself.
