Animals have evolved so that things that are good for them, they prefer, and are more likely to do. Things that are bad for them, they avoid. We people have evolved so that we like things that would help the species (sex, high-calorie foods, warmth, other people) so I think yes, you could say snakes "like" certain things, because they have evolved to: safe-feeling places to hide, warmth. and they have evolved to avoid/"dislike": grabby squeezy harassing hands, stressful new moving things around them. Just as all animals are born with inherent, evolved preferences, all animals are capable of responding to punishment and reinforcement. So if coming out means getting to eat, for example, they are going to "like" coming out and try to come out whenever they want food. The same chemicals and mental processes that make us like or dislike, they react to, as well.

re: loving US, they don't do it. Snakes have evolved no preference for long-term relationships with other snakes, or people. They mate and never chat again, they don't mate for life and they aren't social animals.
