Sorry guys, I love my snakes to death, and I incorporate them as my family and they would eat before I do in a bad situation, but to say that a snake loves you for loving and feeding it is very far fetched, and displays a lack of understanding of how reptiles, snakes in particular, work. Remember, it's not their nature to look to a caretaker or a pack member for anything, they are built to be fully independent and solitary creatures, who get no benefits from interacting with any other creature unless it's food. They don't understand that you are actually providing them with everything they need. They just know that when you are around, food conveniently appears. They don't look to form a social bond with anything, they are just looking for their next meal and then, a safe place to hide. They don't even feel any gratitude for food, they just take it, and move on with their lives, let alone loving you for feeding them.
