    I don't believe that snakes have the physically complex enough brains to feel emotional attachment or anything beyond basic instincts such as hunger, fear, and pain.

    However, I often project emotions onto my snakes, and it's fun to think of them that way.

    I would only caution against using emotions to rationalize strange behaviors, as snakes that are behaving strangely always have a physical reason behind doing so, and projecting emotions onto them may affect your husbandry.
