Do snakes feel emotions and/or love?

[wilomn]

although i do agree with what you said. the association of an unknown to know sent would require some sort of memory based on them. an african rat smells different than a north American one im sure and thus sparks my argument

But, are they different enough to an animal who smells so much better than we, to make a difference?

If one is instinct, the af. rat, then what makes ol rattis domesticatis so tasty to some ball pythons? Either they're too stupid to know the difference, don't care, prefer them or something I've not thought up as yet.

My original thought was that there may not be siginfigant difference in the smell of types of rats for certain snakes. Why?
