If it makes you feel better to feel as though your snake loves you, so be it!![]()
I personally don't think my snakes "love" me, but I do think that they know who I am. They are comfortable with me picking them up and holding them and they generally don't perceive me as a threat (mot of the time haha).
Plenty of people have great relationships with their singular pet snake. I was there at one point too! Eventually I became captivated by the ball python's crazy pattern and color mutations that I couldn't have just one![]()
The first snake I ever got will always hold a special place in my heart. I would never ever give her up! I love her just as much as my dog or cat, but in a different way![]()
