i know this is an old thread. i also know the question is about snakes but i had a snapping turtle, well actually hatched a snapping turtle. he would only let me hold him. and when i did he would ram his face into my hand (mouth closed of course). it really appeared that he was making sure it was me. when he confirmed it was me he would literally go limp and just relax.
i know what science tells us and i wont argue that but i do believe that sometimes there is something more. i mean some species of snakes care for their eggs and, dont quote me on this, but i think all crocadilians guard thier nests? i know its a propagation of the species instinct but i still think there is something going on that cant be explained by science.

I do not think my snakes love me but I do know my first ball, a pastel female, definately knows when I am home or not. Any time I come home from work or shopping or whatever she comes halfway out of her hide, lifts up her head pretty far, I talk to her and then she goes away. She doesn't do that for my husband. I also know I am the only one that feeds her soooo.......
Loads of balls around here

I actually believe that humans are nothing more than animals with complex brains that extrapolate greater meaning from the behaviors driven by instincts and guided by our brains. I don't see anything wrong with that belief.
I don't believe in any gods and I don't accept that all animals are capable of love so I would say that "must believe" is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps you should think about the implications of your words before you voice them. Not believing in a God or gods tells us 1 and only one thing about a person. They do not believe in a God or gods. Atheists hold a wide range of beliefs that are widely different and, once again, only one necessarily in common. Don't lump Atheists together. Its as ignorant as lumping Christians or any other theists together.
Trees love photosynthesis because they need it
To live, jk
But for the sake of the argument, does it really matter if someone wants to believe there snake loves them or not, besides, to all no snake people we are all crazy anyways!!

I think this should only be for people with a few snakes instead of breeders with 20+ that never get played with.

Love...? I don't know..
Are they mindless eating machines, I don't think so, they have traits that show on some level an individual personality.
Are they social, I don't know, but my 2 bp's are in individual vivs sitting right next to each other. There was one time I took my female to the vet to get checked out, she was gone for 7 hours, in that time my pastel trashed his tank, flipping his hides and getting rub marks on his nose. This was the only time he did ever did this.. So did he stress because she was gone? I don't know but something set him off and he has not done it since.
