Having known some of these folks, it can turn into idolatry really fast for some. There are some that the act, and sensationalism of the snake handling becomes more important than the Lord and living for the Lord. That's why one of the old timers told me, that many of the churches went to only handling the snakes on special occasions.... so that the people didn't get fixed on the snakes.
For those that I have met that do this in balance, and it's only one small aspect of their expression of their faith, I have much less issue than the ones that turn it into idolatry.
