I don't think a snake can be considered tame. Nothing like a horse, I'm not sure you can call most domesticated animals tame, some yes. The dog and cat, but if you let a cat run, they can become feral and lose their trust of people.

I think they are basic animals, feed them, give them a decent environment and they will tolerate you.

Even a long term, kept snake (meaning more than 10 years) has been known to bite at one time or another. Not saying that all will bite, but some will, so it tends to make you think they don't really have the capacity to be tamed.
