A snake's ability to recognize or bond with it's owner?

I actually agreed with the scent part but took it out..lol. And it wasn't a story. I witnessed it quite a few times. He also tore up my arm quite a few times. Lol

I mean the puppy dog tame thing is a stretch. Not that it's okay with him and not with you. That's mainly because of the smell. No snake is puppy dog tame though :p.
