I am happily owned by 2 ball pythons. I love them dearly and have often wondered about a snake's ability to recognize or bond with it's owner. I've seen signs personally with my snakes that seem to say yes, they can. I'd love to hear stories of people getting love back from their snakes. Or, if you don't think that they can, write about that too. All views are welcome. And any experiences you've had with your snakes is greatly appreciated
