do snakes love like we love? no of course not, but with snake and all animals, they absolutely pick up energy, positive negative and powerful energy. If i attempt to handle mine and i am in a pissed off mood it will pull through to him and he will be nervous and what not. he picks up on my energy and is relaxing and calm and "loving" when i am. all being pick up energy, just some more than others realize it. animals and children do. My snake actually gave me attitude one day after i laughed at him for biting himself while going after a mouse. he completely turned toward me and postured, as if to say, "f you man!"
open your mind and start to observe ppl and things and you might see or even feel the difference
