A good friend of mine had a snake that he kept at my house. She hated him. LOL She would not eat for him and the last time he held her she bite him 3 times within 5 minutes. She would eat for me on days that he did not come over. He did not want her after 3-4 months. He said that she hated him. She has been mine for over a year now and still has not bit me. So I think that they do recognize their keeper. I ended up with a beautiful banded het pied girl
