Alot of the responses where it's imposable for a reptile to you love you,they lack the brain power to do so,So if your theroy is that snakes/reptiles are creatures of instinct and don't give two [flips] who handle or care for them because they can only feel pleasure fear pain,That being said my theory is a snake in particular doesn't care who cares for it who provides for it that if say a ball python was with me for 10 years that we would have no connection what so ever that that snake could be passed from person to person care and it would not know the difference,i find it insane to think that a snake does not come accustom to one person or crave attention,

You are mixing two separate issues together. Your comment is kinda like saying humans can't see heat. I find that hard to believe since they clearly don't like being set on fire.

Lets say you have two people that you don't love that want to go for a ride in your new car. You only have room for one though. Do you choose the person who is wearing deodorant or the one who is not wearing deodorant. A snake could recognize (a talent that is unrelated to love) the person who has cared for it for years vs the new person. Its going to be calmer with its keeper than the new person. All of this is unrelated to the ability to love.
