Body Language. They can move in 3 dimensions, just as we can, so they aren't very limited in conveying how they feel IMO.

Just as in music (depth of field), the 3 dimensions are achieved by sound alone.
Left to right - Panning of course.
Front and back - (fx)Reverb, volume, (fx)delay, . . .

I think movement can be interpreted almost the same way at times.
Snakes can move in all four directions, speed is like their volume, and they have distinct movement patterns (curling in a ball when threatened, or the pose before they strike, for example).

Not sure If i conveyed that well, but I agree with what JeffJ was saying; We don't know for sure, but they certainly experience stress (likes/dislikes) and comfort. . .
